Oh FFS
Racists are angry at King Arthur Flour for having a competition/ mentorship program for #BIPOC bakers.
As a baker I can attest that King Arthur makes excellent flour, and now I'm especially appreciative of the company. Highly recommend this brand.

Hey, if you’re a baker that uses King Arthur flour (I’ve heard it’s popular), this would be an amazing time to let them know that you support, appreciate and value their initiatives as well as their commitment to diversity.
Because this is happening : https://www.dailydot.com/debug/king-arthur-baking-dei-competition/

Boosts appreciated, particularly folks with lots of friends that would bake/purchase this stuff.
Reminiscent of The Year of Magical Thinking and Somebody’s Daughter, a deeply empathetic and often humorous collection of essays that explore the author’s ever-changing relationships with her grandmother and mother, through sickness and health, as they experience the joys and challenges of Black American womanhood.

The Time Machine is a wonderful story about friendship and forgiveness. Sharing the main character’s emotions, Pauline David-Sax explains the importance of apologizing to young readers. As young Bailey shows it so well, it is not an easy thing, but it is certainly worth it.

Okra Stew is a beautiful book about food, family, ancestors and Gullah Geechee culture.
Okra Stew is a wonderful read. I love how the author added the recipe at the end of the book, as well as information about the Gullah Geechee people.

Partially based on Shawn Amos’s own experiences growing up the son of Wally “Famous” Amos in a mostly white area, and packed with humor, heart, and fun illustrations, this debut novel sings with the joy of self-discovery, unconditional love, and belonging.
