Abē and I interrupt our regularly scheduled programing to acknowledge what the world is now watching: a mass response to the police murder of our African American neighbor George Floyd last Memorial Day in front of Cup Foods, a neighborhood snacking, smoking, and cell phone repair shop in the heart of South Minneapolis' Central Neighborhood. While here at Super Delicious we trend towards topics of real food for real people with a generous helping of irreverence, we know who we are: two journalists of color in a major metropolitan city with precious few of us to tell our own stories. The horror of George Floyd's death has by now been felt throughout the world, and we would not let this story be told without our own specific perspectives as people who live here—a native and a transplant who both love/hate this city enough to keep calling it home. Our home and ourselves are forever changed, and this is our personal perspective on the past week or so—what we saw and heard, what we are feeling and saying, and what we need to go forward. For Abē, it's a moment of plant therapy in his garden with Ron Finley, and for Mecca, it's in her bed in the form of The Nap Ministry and Rest as Resistance. But once we recharge, rested and more abundant, we will continue to tell stories from our hometown. Thank you for supporting journalists of color.  Thank you to all  gracious interviewees and artists who helped.  This is real journalism by real people.
