MacNChz & CollrdGreens (MNCCG) is an anthology of stories from anonymous community members. Those stories are e-mailed to our team, analyzed by the Foxy Five team, and translated in either our print or video series. The goal of MNCCG is to convert stories otherwise untold into plates of wisdom to feed the soul.
A traditional plate of soul food may consist of fried catfish, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and a square of cornbread. If done appropriately, the plate of soul food should have a consistent taste no matter the chef. The catfish anchors the plate, but you will find the most diversity in the execution of the MacNChz & CollrdGrns. Most chefs know that, and will guard their ingredients to protect their recipe.
We use the plate of Soul Food as a metaphor for life experiences. We tend to shelter our stories, hide the ingredients, and privatize the recipe. The details of a story make it appear as though this narrative is unique, something no one has presented, battled, and conquered before. But I hate to break it to you, that catfish plate - we’ve tasted it before, and that challenge you’re experiencing, albeit different, has been previously experienced and someone out there has perfected the recipe.
MacNChz & CollrdGrns (MNCCG) is an anthology of stories. Our team collects stories otherwise untold, and assesses the learning opportunities to provide wisdom to our community. The stories are made available to the MNCCG community. All submissions are anonymous. Elements of the story may be altered to protect anonymity; however, the core theme will not be jeopardized. We believe a story untold is wisdom lost and we want to hear from you. Send an email to stories.mcnccg@gmail.com and get your story included within our anthology, to convert your story into a source of folklore.
The catfish is the main dish. It represents the core story and includes foundational elements and a spiritual theme.
The MacNChz & CollrdGrns are the side dishes. It represents the details and the context that converts that core story to one that represents a unique narrative.
