Molly Cottontail

"Let me tell you that when a woman starts to be trickish, she can beat a man every time. Cause her mind works a heap faster."

Welcome to the Afro Tales podcast, where we set sail into the rich tapestry of stories from Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode we find ourselves in Alabama and your storyteller, Amon Mazingo, will bring to life the cunning and clever Miss Molly Cottontail. Discover how she outwits Mister Fox and Hungry Billy in a tale that's bound to leave you pondering the intricacies of folklore characters. After the tale, join Chef for a culinary adventure inspired by the story, as he shares his mouth-watering recipe for black folks shrimp and grits.
