HONEY, Let It BEE...
I've always known honey to be an "old-time" remedy. Growing up, I didn't see honeycombs, how they show in the movies and commercials. My family rarely used honey or sugar because we have unlimited maple sap in our back and yard. Once we take the maple sap to our country store to sift and pasteurize, the dark brown thick syrup was the sweetener for everything!

Mafist (noun)
Let me talk to you about mafism. Today I discovered that I am a mafist. This wasn't like my coming-out story when I discovered I wasn't straight. However, similar to that it took me a few years to figure out as well. What I mean is, that today I discovered there is a word for someone like me who doesn't eat mammals - a mafist.

Marvelous Mushrooms
Mushrooms liked by few hated by many , I think they get a awful bad reputation for something so cute and tasty. However I’m sure while saying that there are people out there who would be horrified that I find truffle disgusting or maybe like with mushrooms I just haven’t had them in the right dish or the right mushroom/ truffle.

Tomato, Say It Isn't So!
I believe vegetables have a bad reputation when we're introduced to them at the dinner table. When we're younger, we grimace our faces and protest eating them. As kids, we believe vegetables are gross, disgusting, unnecessary - you name it!

Backyard Blues
Black people have long used nature to heal ourselves when segregated hosptials refused, feed ourselves and communities, and live a sovereighn lifestyle. But with the commercialization of gardening and farming upon us, access to gardening tools, seeds, and even plots of land has become scarcer. That's where foraging comes in. Foraging is the act of searching for wild food sources whether that be in a nearby forest, along the beach, or outside of your apartment complex. Alexis Nikole Nelson's foraging TikToks have gone viral since the pandemic first hit in the United States last spring; her videos chronicling nature walks, plant classification, her segment Poison or Sncacc, and cooking her newly foraged flora have garnered well over 400,000 views on TikTok, some even reaching the one million mark. Nelson's content cleverly mixes in her humor and sunny personality to build on a radical tradition of existing in harmony with the land to nourish ourselves and communities.
