Here's what Taraji told
KitchenKids!
when she stopped by our Walk Like You Talk Cafe!
ccccccccccccccccccccccccc
My favorite kitchen memory as a child was when my mother would let me help her cook.
ccccccccccccccccccccccccc
When I was a child I loved corn on the cob from my grandmother's garden actually ANYTHING from my granmother's garden was great when she cooked it. SO FRESH!!!
cccccccccccccccccccccccc
I always stress to kids to have faith in themselves—the greatest recipe for success is self confidence. The combination for success is UNWAVERING Faith + Self love + Confidence + Education = THE KEY TO THE WORLD!
