It’s @edenthefoodie here 🥳 Today is my birthd It’s @edenthefoodie here 🥳 Today is my birthday!  Here’s my flashback with traditional East African bread, Himbasha. It’s tradition to break it over a child’s back for more blessings 💫  I wanted to share a few things with y’all. I started @blackfoodie.co after experiencing racism eating out on my birthday years ago. That experience changed my life and set me on this journey to support Black businesses and celebrate Black food culture with my team❤️🙏🏾. So proud of this community we’ve built and thankful to all of y’all for joining us.  I also have a birthday request. My family comes from East Africa and there is currently a genocide happening in this region. The Ethiopian government is killing innocent people because of their ethnicity. As someone with family in this region this hits really close to home. There are thousands of people in the Tigray region that had to flee as refugees (many of them are children 🥺)and millions more who are suffering as a result of the government blocking aid and communication. Please spread awareness and if you’re in a position to donate there’s a link in the bio with organizations you can donate to. You can swipe to learn more.  Thank you 🙏🏾  Stop the #TigrayGenocide

Drop a 🇭🇹 in the comments if you’re celebrating with a bowl of soup Joumou today!  Correction: Each ingredient in soup joumou was methodically chosen by Empress Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité, the first and only empress of what was then called Hayiti, Empire of Freedom. This is a dish that gives strength to the body and the mind. Everything in the dish serves a culinary purpose, as well as a symbolic one. Prior to the revolution, colonizers forbade enslaved Haitians, my ancestors, from any food that might be considered “good,” and instead fed them leftover scraps. The enslaved Haitians learned how to coax maximum flavor from discarded beef skulls and shanks. They farmed the vegetables and developed a connection with the land. And they grew the most important ingredient: the joumou itself. The French forbade the very enslaved people who grew the squash from consuming it, and it took on the allure of a forbidden fruit. In her soup, Empress Félicité deliberately included joumou as a symbol of our victory, and revenge against our oppressors.  (Excerpt from Grubstreet, Lyne Lucien)  🙌🏾✊🏾
