STEPHANIE TADE AGENCY

Born in Chicago and raised in New York, Phillips has two decades of experience as a meditation enthusiast and guide and is a lifelong storyteller.

A student of Black American foodways and ancestral food traditions, Phillips also co-founded Dottie’s Market, a celebrated restaurant in Savannah (named after her great-grandmother). She now consults on community-centered creative culinary projects.

Phillips says she brings a holistic, deeply human approach to developing and positioning books that nourish both readers and the larger culture.

“Few things nourish us the way books do,” she says. “Books help us understand who we are, where we came from and what's possible. I'm deeply honored to help usher them into the world. I was made for this. It's so fun!”
