Born and reared in San Francisco, California by immigrants from Liberia, West Africa, and Guyana, South America, I came of age in the 70’s and 80’s, a time of immense cultural and social change in San Francisco. From as far back as I can remember, I was surrounded by different cultures and have always looked for similarities and distinct differences. I am passionate about Africa and the African Diaspora – food, foundation, and fashion. My love for the continent informs everything I do, my cooking style, how I decorate my personal space, and how I dress. As a first-generation American of African and Caribbean descent, I grew up surrounded by the culinary traditions, visual representations, and cultural practices that informed who I would become. In a nutshell, C.C. Pean as a brand is a love letter to the continent recognizing the majesty of Africa and its influence on world cuisine, design, and fashion.
