Good Home Training explores how generations of Black women have redefined the home as a place of cultural inheritance, creativity, and care—deeply influencing the ways we live, gather, and remember.
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.
It reclaims the home as a site of power and significance, celebrating the traditions that have shaped the Black family and community. At its core, Good Home Training is a tribute to the past and a call to carry its lessons forward with intention and pride.
