Umami Amora: A Juneteenth Culinary Celebration of Black Excellence

Umami Amora is not just a dinner—it’s a one-of-a-kind Juneteenth celebration that brings all of that together in one unforgettable evening.

Join us as we highlight seven incredible Black chefs who are changing the food scene through flavor, story, and heart. Each of the seven dishes served will be paired with a personal story—deep, emotional, and powerful—centered around the Black experience. Expect meaningful dialogue, connection, and elevated cuisine rooted in soul.

This is a unique event designed to pour back into Memphis’s Black culinary community, curated in partnership with The Mushroom Queen, Leading in Life Enterprise, Lady Bug Delights, and Lilac Impact Services.

All are welcome. We simply ask that you show up in shades of brown to reflect the beauty and unity of our people.

Come hungry. Leave full—in every way.
