What happened to George Floyd last week was unequivocally wrong. What happened to Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, and the countless named and unnamed victims of police brutality and white supremacy is unequivocally wrong. I’ve taken my safety for granted, and it belongs to everyone. I stand in solidarity with those protesting their murders.
Hoping for change is not enough. Considering myself a non-racist is not enough. I have work to do and I will do it. Black lives matter.
Over the next week, I will not be posting new recipes so that more important voices can carry more important messages. Now and evermore, I’m listening to the Black community, educating myself on systemic racism and oppression, donating to organizations that champion for equal rights for all, and working to become a more active ally.
It’s my responsibility to use this platform for good. Here are a few resources that I’ve found educational, and links to additional books and resources that I’m just beginning.
- Trevor Noah on Protests
- Anti-Racism Resources for White People: I’m working through this list, and it offers far more resources than provided here.
- Podcast: 1619, hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones
- Book: How to Be an Antiracist, by Ibram X. Kendi
- Book: Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad
- Book: The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Since homemade meals provide nourishment during times of stress and unrest, you’ll find my usual monthly list of in-season recipes below. Be well.
