Chef, author and TV personality Carla Hall is using her voice – and love for food – to make a meaningful impact in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease in honor of her beloved grandmother, Freddie Mai Price Glover.
Hall’s granny had a larger-than-life personality, but the thing that she remembers most vividly about her is her food — it was always prepared with love. Hall’s inspiration for cooking comes from her granny who brought the family together through her food. Ironically, it was changes to Granny’s cooking that first signaled something was wrong with her memory. Soon after, she found out she had Alzheimer’s.
In her honor, Hall is an outspoken Celebrity Champion for the Alzheimer’s Association. She speaks out by sharing her story to raise Alzheimer’s awareness, break down the stigma surrounding the disease and generate greater public support for the cause.
