Mexico’s Juneteenth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 15, 1829, President Vicente Guerrero (an Afrodescendiente) officially abolished slavery in Mexico. It was twenty-five years after Haiti’s monumental revolution in 1804. And 36 damn years before the U.S. Let that sink in.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="927" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hIHo!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.ama

Many working-class professionals, writers, creatives, parents, and basically just everyday people are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of groceries, bills and basic daily needs.

Is African Palm Wine Our First Bubbly? On the Erasure of Indigenous Fermentation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Food media and food historians get turned on by “the first.” The first bread. The first cheese. The first taco. The world’s oldest beer.
