    Quick 🔥🔥🔥 Friday- Happy Juneteeth! ( Black Face Food Brands 👀)

    Juneteeth was always lit, but this year it is even more important that we celebrate. We need to keep being joyful because that is a part of healing too.  This episode might be a little chopped n' screwed but I had a lot going on today, fam please forgive me( hahaha).  I hope you enjoy it anyway, cause this friday is special and I had to get an episode out on this day of celebration. I made a red velvet cake this week too! Historically, to my knowledge, was red using beets originally to represent the bloodshed of the enslaved, then capitalism used the tradition to sell food dye. A pic of my plated cake will but up soon. Google some juneteeth celebrations near you, or make something  special it doesn't have to be extra but just from the heart.  Bless you and stay sharp!  For more info on how to connect to our community check out https://www.coffeecoloredconcepts.com/ and https://dacostacorrine.wixsite.com/coffeecoloredconvos Other links for this episode below https://www.juneteenth.com/history.htm https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/aunt-jemima-brand-will-change-name-remove-image-quaker-says-n1231260 https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/business/cream-of-wheat-racist-brands/index.html http://historyapolis.com/blog/2013/12/17/cream-of-wheat-race-and-the-birth-of-the-packaged-food-industry-in-minneapolis/ https://www.npr.org/2020/06/09/872697289/chief-editor-at-bon-app-tit-resigns-after-racially-offensive-photo-surfaces

    Hip Hop Homestead-The Prelude

    So this episode is the beginning of our Hip Hop Homestead. Shout out to Leah Penniman who dropped the knowledge via one of her Ask a Sista Farmer Fridays ( on Facebook-we highly recommend as a great resource for taking back and honoring land) that the difference between a homestead and a farm, is the scale and a matter of economics. A homestead produces food for the occupants of the residents, a farm produces food as a business entity, of selling food for the general public. So thus the idea for the hip hop homestead began. Just as they do on soul fire farm, they listen to music and reconnect with the land. We do the same, music feeds the soul so be careful about your diet. This episode details the planning and research that is needed to try and plant according to companion planting principles and the natural biodiversity of the plot of land that our ancestors worked hard to acquire and protect.  We are doing the best we can, learning as we grow, -when we know better we do better, but everyone starts somewhere and this is the start of ours. Planting playlists coming soon!  Bless up and Stay Sharp!
