Fried food is a huge part of Black cuisine. Which, as our friends over at Black Food Fridays would say, makes it a huge part of American cuisine.Functioning white supremacy means so much stigma has been created around some staple parts of our cuisine.

Red foods are a staple of Juneteenth celebrations. Most of our families have passed down stories about how the red hue represents our bloodshed when our ancestors lived and died as enslaved humans.

We had to create the perfect hibiscus spritzer for you.
We can’t think about Juneteenth without thinking about outdoor cooking with our families. And still, this year, we know it’s been a rough year (to say the least), and we’re not all back outside.

Well, this month, your homegirl Rona might have tried to steal the show, but - as a woman-owned and run business - we feel like it’s never too late to snatch it back and remind us all that it’s STILL Women’s History Month. And we’re doing just that with another playlist celebrating the everyday experience of women - especially women (just like the ones reading this) that literally run our world.
Our Founding Partner, Dr. Carrie Kholi-Murchison, has been interviewing some of her favorite individuals on Instagram Live. And she’s been gracious enough to let us snatch some of that content and replay it for you (as a service, a bit of entertainment if you will) during this Covid-19 quarantine.
