My Auntie Brought a Whole Rotisserie Chicken to the Movie Theater

When my aunt walked into a packed movie theater with a whole rotisserie chicken in her purse, I thought my life was over. Turns out, that was the day everything changed.
In this hilarious and heartfelt storytime, I share how my Auntie Lorraine turned a simple family movie night into a viral moment, a news story, a life lesson about authenticity, and even a new career opportunity. From arguing with security over “inside food,” to becoming “Chicken Lady” on the internet, to starting a catering business and inspiring a whole move-ment around being yourself, this one ridiculous night became the start of something much bigger.
If you’ve got that one auntie, grandma, or family member who embarrasses you in public but loves you harder than anyone else, this video is for you. This is a story about Black fam-ily dynamics, generational wisdom, money, class, dignity, and learning not to care so much about what other people think. It’s funny, emotional, and surprisingly deep.

• My aunt bringing a full rotisserie chicken into an AMC theater
