Mama Js Kitchen

Description

One of fourteen children of Willard and Alease Roland, Velma "Mama J" Johnson was born and raised right here in Richmond, VA. As part of a family that large, along with her sisters and brothers, they took on a lot of responsibility around the house. One of those responsibilities was helping their mother in the kitchen. This is where she learned many of the recipes that are now served in Mama J’s.
