The Monroe family owns and operates Hush Harbor Bakery in Atascadero, California, including father Donnie, mother Penni, and daughter Morgan. Penni and Donnie worked in aerospace engineering in Southern California before taking an early “retirement” to start a bakery on the Central Coast. In time, their daughter Morgan would start working at the bakery, too. Penni and Morgan discuss their love of music (Morgan is a phenomenal singer for the The Monroe), the origins of the Hush Harbor name, and beautiful, beautiful sourdough bread.
Note that the book Penni references in our conversation is called The Shaping of Black America by Lerone Bennett.
