what are folks saying?
“From romance to run-ins with family — and even parking enforcement — Food for the Soul is a love letter to culture, community, and choosing yourself.” - Blex Media
“Food for the Soul is Chieke’s newest film which explores multiculturalism within the Black diaspora through its depiction of a romantic relationship between a first generation Igbo American and her Black American partner.” - CinéSpeak
“As someone who is African American and Nigerian (it is never either or) this is close to my heart! I think it’s a kind of unique experience being perceived by said groups and this captures it really well.” - Sevy (Letterboxd Review)
