Chicago Artist Cam Be Drops Tantalizing Music Video For “Cookin'”

Chicago-based filmmaker and musician Cam Be and singer/songwriter Peter Jericho have come together for their funk-inspired tune “Cookin'”. Marrying together healthy, plant-based eating with retro soul & funk, and features features multi-disciplinary artist Starlotta “Star” Milan whose work in and around advocacy for plant-based eating dates back 20 years.

The inspiration for the video came through co-collaboration between Be and Milan who worked together to prepare a real vegan recipe for audiences to try at home. Be, a long-time champion of health and wellness for underserved communities believes, “Healthy eating options should be available to Black communities everywhere…and seeing this video could inspire someone to try something new.”

Milan, also the Director of Art at the Sister Survivor Network, is on a mission to transform food deserts into oases of physical nutrition and spiritual sustainability. A vocal and active advocate of health and wellness in Black communities, Milan feels, “It is my responsibility to cultivate a culture around food and sustainability.”

The video is directed by the screenwriter and self-published author Briana Clearly whose work focuses on the belief that Black Womxn and other marginalized people should own their own narratives, in front of, and behind the camera.

Fans of Silk & Sonic and some good ol’ homecooking will enjoy the harmonious music video.
