As much as we bring positivity and inspiration to your kitchens and how to nourish your body, we must show up for the community — we will stand up, support, listen, learn, and take action for the black community.
Compassion, reflection, mindfulness, and being intentional with words and actions are not only part of my core values but also the values we have as a small company.
I guide and teach about the many ways we can be more mindful of our health and how we nourish our bodies. Just as our motto of healthy is a daily practice, taking anti-racism action is a daily practice.
Showing up to injustice starts with our own work.
It’s about taking action in unlearning, learning, reading, journaling, donating, having these conversations with family and friends, supporting teachers and black voices, and doing the work internally. I will listen, learn, and do my part as a human being and a healthcare provider to stand with and support the black community.
