Good Home Training is a film about the legacy, resistance, and joy that generations of Black women have built at home — the kind whispered over dinner tables, sewn into Sunday dresses, and baked into well-worn recipes. It’s a visual love letter to the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, families and communities that raised us.
Through storytelling, a shared meal, and a hands-on baking session, the film honors figures like Malinda Russell – believed to be the first Black person to self-publish a cookbook – while connecting her legacy to modern creatives.
At its core, Good Home Training is a tribute to the past and a call to carry its lessons forward with intention and pride
