Whenever I read a memoir by someone who is dying I am deeply appreciative of the clairvoyance and honesty that we find. Fatima Ali was so much fun to meet and watch during her stint on Top Chef, and I am so sorry we will never again get to taste her energy and enthusiasm in the food that she makes.
Savor is, as she says, "[her] way of still fighting, of surviving beyond my expiration date; of hopefully helping other small brown girls who feel strange—who kiss their best friends and find they like it, but in doing so hate themselves due to their desires—to forgive themselves and to be themselves."
Her story like so many others is one of promise taken away by a disease that so often wins the day. I am thankful that we got a chance to hear her story from her (and her mother) before she died.
