Where are the African American or Black Cooking Shows?

My daughter and I love Rachel Ray, Paula, and the little Italian girl. As we kick back and watch a thirty minute spicy chipote chicken recipe with brown rice, it occurs to me, 'there are no black cooks on tv'. So I google black cooking shows and African American Cooking shows and I end up with Emeril and a black bean recipe and an African American recipe site but no cooking show references. Since cooking and food seem to unite people across cultures, what better way to make more inroads into this race thing in American than to share recipes. We need a brown or black cook to show us the way. Who will answer the call?
