Ebony's Massive Calendar of Events

Date With A Dish

Date With A Dish was a long-standing popular feature in EBONY Magazine. We've reimagined this feature as a virtual series.

During the in-person dining experience, celebrity and influential guests will have compelling “family” conversations on topics impacting the Black community.
Product placement opportunities available through video or audio integration.
