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


Listen Later

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!
