there are so many things I want to say, words I want to form, but don’t know how to do it eloquently enough.

so I write. I share. and I’m here to commit to educating myself on what the black community faces each and every day and how I can personally deeply engage myself and my family to help and to do the work.
even though I live in a diverse Chicago community and own a shop in a predominantly black community, it is not enough. I can and WILL do better and I acknowledge that.

it isn’t just about reading or posting on social media — it’s about creating action and inspiring others to do the same. It’s time to have the uncomfortable conversations. with family. with friends. with ourselves.

It’d be a shame if I didn’t use my platform to speak out against injustice. we cannot continue to turn a blind eye towards racism or become desensitized to what we see on the news.

silence has a distinct loudness.
and we will not see radical change without radical change.

thank you for being here. xo. #blacklivesmatter

homemade salted maple pecan butter that tastes like a slice of pecan pie 😍 yes please!
comes together so much easier/quicker than almond butter and is incredibly delicious in baked goods, on toast or with apples & bananas. grab the link in my bio!

always multitasking over here these days 🤪🤷🏼‍♀️ per our pediatrician’s recommendation, I recently cut out dairy to try and see if it would help with Sidney’s eczema. thank god for @siggisdairy plant-based cups!

the vanilla cinnamon + a drizzle of PB has been my go-to but I also love the raspberry!
have any of you tried the plant based siggi’s line yet?! #sponsored #dailysiggis

say good morning to the best overnight oats ever: strawberry banana overnight oats (that taste like banana bread!) with bites of fresh strawberries and a swirl of nutty almond butter in every single bite.

if you’ve never experienced overnight oats before, it’s time to give them a try because this flavor combo is UNREAL. recipe link in bio!
