As a black American, I want to thank these queens, which made me happy to know our food is beloved. I wish my grandmothers and grandfathers were still alive to see these they would appreciate this. Especially because this is what they cooked a lot of these foods and dishes for our family. they grew up on these meals, especially growing up in the South. However, food is the universal language.And bringing cultures together or in some caseBut however, food is the universal language. Of bringing cultures together in some case.

[diedrehood]

I don't know why I teared up a little. Soul food is my culture. Mexican food is my favorite next to that. We are so similar as a people in our ways and our souls. Much love always to Mexican queens and culture .

Not just beautiful and classy, they enjoyed our food (and Lord knows we love theirs), it was so touching to know that they knew our history. This made my great day even greater. Thank you for this video. I have a taste for some oxtails now, though.

Mexican cuisine and soul food have a lot in common, just like Mexican culture and Black culture. My friend brought some Pozole from his abuelita for me to try, and it gave me the same warm and cozy feeling when I ate it like when I eat my own family's comfort food . ❤❤

As a Mexican I love soul food it’s so flavorful and comforting

[envyvicious]

Monica, you are invited to the cookout anytime! Your elation to the food made my heart swell up and my memories of people stopping by our house just to see what my Mama was cooking that day. This included workers from the USPS, electric company gas company, all of them. Lots of services were delayed because their workers were eating in our kitchen instead of heading out to their sites. The word got around to their coworkers too. Back then, inviting a stranger in to eat was just normal and safer too. No one left without a good meal, and an extra plate to take with them. I miss you, Mama! Rest in Paradise.

Who doesn't love soul food, lol.. Candied Yams and Collard Greens with some Louisiana hot sauce and cornbread to dip in the pot liquor, lol.. Don't forget the sweet potato pie.

Their general knowledge of Black History was actually impressive. And up until the Juneteenth question these ladies were not guessing they knew the correct answer for sure. I am humbled and would like to reciprocate by learning a little more about Mexican history. Thank you ladies 🤗

[danielleknight]

On behalf of my ancestors, thank you for all the gratitude 🙏🏽 for these to be recipes that were considered scraps and it has now become a staple food and more appreciated … the blood sweat tears and “feet” we sacrificed (iykyk), little things like this make it all worth it ❤

[MrSincerity]

This makes me smile cause me and my Mexican friends always joke that we are related in some kind of way lol I love Mexican food and culture and they love black American food and culture.

[lorenrich]

They’re always open and respectful of other cultures dishes, glad they enjoyed the food, grew eating literally all these foods

[mauriceknighton]

Muchas gracias to the three mamahs. Warms my heart that they loved the soul food. There is always similarity in various cultures. We just have to open our minds and explore. To the mamahs; if y’all ever come to the south, I make a mean banana pudding cheesecake 😉

[SierrasInterlude]

I’m literally ecstatic seeing these beautiful women enjoy our food, know our culture, & be excited about It ! I love Mexican food and culture and am always trying to learn more . I’m still smiling rn 😭😭🫶🏾

[Rica]

I loooove this so much. I’m a black woman and I love Mexican food - lived in Texas for a while and I do miss it. We are cultural cousins!

[successmanifestation]

I wish they could’ve also tried dressing, Mac and cheese, and peach cobbler. But I’m glad they enjoyed our food. Bc as a black person I love, love, love, Mexican food!
