“GIRL GURL GRRRL is an essential, vital and urgent exploration of Black womanhood, that should be on everyone’s reading list. Every page is meaningful and a call for empathy, hope and change. There is such power in the stories that are told, from Kenya’s own experience – as a mother, as a journalist, as an American in London, to Ebele Okobi’s essay on the unspeakable loss of a brother to police brutality. If any book should enrich – and disrupt – your life, let it be this.” — Harper's Bazaar

In 2020, Dawn Davis, took the reins as editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit along with Condé Nast brands, Epicurious Healthyish , and Basically . Dawn's editorial vision is directing a new chapter at the 65-year-old publication. Every October, Bon Appétit Magazine celebrates the "Hot Ten", a list of America's Best New Restaurants in its Restaurant Issue. This year, under Dawn's guidance, the Restaurant Issue honors the restaurants, people and organizations that give us hope with a brand-new awards list, “Heads of the Table”. The issue celebrates the resilience, variety of food, and the people who make restaurants run, the ones that sprang up or pivoted during the pandemic to help their communities and others in the industry who needed it most, from giving job opportunities to the formerly incarcerated to feeding neighbors. As an accomplished publisher working at 37 INK, a Simon & Schuster imprint, and Amistad, a HarperCollins imprint, Dawn published numerous bestselling and award-winning titles. Her passion for cooking resulted in the first cookbook she acquired, Recipe of Memory: Five Generations of Mexican Cuisine by Mary Lau Valle and Victor M. Valle, being nominated for two Julia Child Cookbook Awards and a James Beard Foundation Award. As an author, Dawn wrote If You Can Stand the Heat: Tales from Chefs and Restaurateurs profiling some of the most dynamic chefs of the times including Edna Lewis, Bobby Flay #anthonybourdain , Michael McCarthy, Patricia Williams, and Linda Rodriguez. Listen in as Dawn and host, Brad Johnson, discuss some of the featured people, stories and recipes in the October issue of Bon Appétit: The Restaurant Issue, along with a variety of other topics including: how Dawn's journey led to publishing, some of her favorite Martha's Vineyard places to visit; reflections from time spent in Nigeria; a high-profile restaurant going meatless and climate change; expanding the dialogue around African American cuisine's contribution to American cuisine; her cookbook collection and stories about the interesting chefs she included in the book she authored.
