Getting Something to Eat in Jackson: The Labor of Feeding the Family
Feeding oneself is labor. It is quotidian labor, and that labor is racialized and gendered--food scholars have long established this. My work adds to this conversation by exploring the socio-economic circumstances under which differently classed contemporary Black Southerners take on this labor. I share stories and insights of my time in kitchens, grocery stores, soup kitchens, and fine dining restaurants with Mississippians as they feed themselves.

Auto/Body - 15
Disassembled automotive parts on display in The Art Gallery as part of the Auto/Body exhibit. A dark blue spot on the floor reads: “I remember living in my first rooming house in Seattle. This is when I discovered I do not do well living with so many people. It strikes me as funny now, the thought that I might do better by myself.” Another white spot is visible on the ground, but is partially obscured.https://digitalcommons.collin.edu/rische2025/1005/thumbnail.jp
Auto/Body - 20
Disassembled automotive parts on display in The Art Gallery as part of the Auto/Body exhibit. A dark blue spot on the floor reads: “The dominant theme for me in Seattle was depression. I was not used to the overcast skies, constant rain, and dark days.” A white spot on the floor reads: “I did wind up with a motorcycle in Seattle. A friend of mine let me trade my kicking bag for it. It was in several pieces in Spokane so we drove out to get it. We actually packed it into a Subaru Outback in pieces. I couldn’t believe it fit! I got a lot of joy out of that motorcycle: a Honda CB550K. It was a cool looking bike with dual exhaust pipes. Seattle as a city is not a great place for riding with all the hills and blind corners and wet roads, but it was something that brought me joy in a city that was causing me such gloom.”https://digitalcommons.collin.edu/rische2025/1004/thumbnail.jp
Auto/Body - 18
Disassembled automotive parts on display in The Art Gallery as part of the Auto/Body exhibit. Several spots in various colors with text are on the floor. A black spot in front of the car frame reads: “Oxidative stress will damage our bodies in the same way that rust might damage a car. Rust will eat away at the car’s integrity, causing holes and weakened joints. In our own bodies, it will manifest as aging skin, brain cells change, deterioration of the veins, scarring of the organs. One of several causes of oxidative stress is emotional stress. Salt will accelerate oxidative stress for both automobile and human.”https://digitalcommons.collin.edu/rische2025/1006/thumbnail.jp
Auto/Body - 13
Disassembled automotive parts on display in The Art Gallery as part of the Auto/Body exhibit. A red spot on the floor reads: “I talked my friend David into coming with me to Boeing Surplus, the biggest weirdest thrift experience I’ve ever known. I bought a bookshelf that I was certain would fit in Rio, my Civic, but David was dubious. Well, we got to the car and had to do quite a bit of engineering to get it to fit, and poor David had to suffer the drive home shaped like a pretzel.” A dark blue spot on the floor reads: “Since I can remember, I have always preferred hobbies and activities that are typically reserved for boys rather that girls. There are some exceptions but I was a daddy’s girl and liked to do the things he did. My interest in cars, guns, archery, martial arts, and motorcycles came from watching him and participating in and work on these things. Art and creativity seems to run in the family too. Some things nature, some things nurture.”https://digitalcommons.collin.edu/rische2025/1012/thumbnail.jp
