01 / THE HEART OF FULLER

Her budget?
Almost nothing.
Her love?
Everything.

Some meals stay with you forever.
This one means everything.

Ebony leaves school to care for her mother, Antoinette, who has ALS. She sets out to give her food-loving momma an unforgettable seven-course fine-dining experience.

Her restaurant? Their double-wide in Navassa, North Carolina. With a little ingenuity, a whole lot of heart, and help from her community, Ebony sets out to bring her momma’s dream to the table.

A story about the ways we feed the people we love.
