Ruth and Roz Spotlight Food, Culture, and Conversation in an Exclusive Houston Event

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ruth and Roz’s Sunday Supper Club is coming to Houston for the first time on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Anderson Center for the Arts, bringing together an unforgettable evening of food, culture, and unfiltered conversation.

This culinary experience will be hosted by Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe winning actor Taraji P. Henson, and co-hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Tashara Parker, pop culture critic Funky Dineva, and media personality Claudia Jordan.

Guests will indulge in a multi-course chef-curated dinner and craft cocktails while being part of a live, uncensored conversation centered on the stories, laughter, and communal healing that have made Ruth and Roz a movement in the event space.

“Sunday dinner has always been a sacred time to gather, connect, and reflect. We created the Sunday Supper Club to honor that tradition instilled in us by our mothers and grandmother, while elevating it with dynamic voices who aren’t afraid to keep it real,” said Jahvon Hanson-Cleveland, Founder of Ruth and Roz. “With Taraji, Funky Dineva, Claudia, and Houston’s own Tashara Parker at the table, this will be an unforgettable time for the city.”

As host of Sunday Supper Club Taraji P. Henson is not only a celebrated movie star and cultural icon, but also a passionate advocate for mental health and healing in the Black community.

"Through her work with the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation and her openness about her own journey, Taraji has sparked vital conversations around emotional wellness, therapy, pay equity, and the importance of breaking generational cycles of silence. Ruth and Roz chose to partner with Taraji for the Sunday Supper Club because her voice embodies the heart of the series in a way that encourages people to gather, heal, and grow together," said Hanson-Cleveland.

The Sunday Supper Club has already gained attention in cities known for Black culture such as Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles. Now, Houston will host its own sold-out crowd — with fewer than 75 tickets left for this premiere experience.

Attendees can expect a four-course meal by Chef Nicholas Sayles, luxe gift bags, and more. Houston natives can also receive a special discount on tickets using the code TARAJI2025, which expires on Sunday, August 31, 2025.
