The Club to Nowhere

How did hands dusted with flour become the fuel for freedom?

Thanks for stopping by this special place—a place that honors connection, hope, creativity, and resilience. The South Carolina Lowcountry is my center of gravity, where stories rise like tidewater, often when you least expect them. It’s where we gather as a community of creatives, united by a shared faith in the power of storytelling, good food, and fellowship. Step in. Sit a spell. Make yourself at home. We’re glad you’re here. Today’s story is about hope, creativity, and the resilience of a group of women who rose before dawn to bake, while risking their jobs and safety for a cause they believed in. It’s a timely story as we pause to remember Martin Luther King this week, known for his nonviolent protests for the cause of civil rights.

Heroes often arrive in our history books fully formed - brave, resolute, larger than life. But the truth is quieter and far more human.
