@ToBeVeganandBlack | Culinary Storytelling from the Black Vegan Perspective

LEMME EAT.

Vegan & Black's lead storyteller, Naimah, is actively researching food deserts in the Cincinnati area, the history behind them, and how the process to eradicate them is going.

What she has found so far has been a tale of tragedy and hope; Many of the residents in neighborhoods such as BondHill are at the mercy of city planners and government officials, who treat the neighborhood's needs as unimportant. However, brands such as Matunda Juicery, and the promising Black-led BondHill Market project are working to move such areas in a fresher, healthier direction.

The "Lemme Eat" campaign is a combination of education and awareness. The just released 12oz cotton canvas reusable shopping bags offer a culturally relevant carrier to those who truly desire to shop for groceries just as all people should be able to do.

Only the beginning​

We've got quite a few things on our minds, from the subcultures in Black communities and how they eat to why grocery stores rarely open locations in neighborhoods that are predominantly of color.
