This month is about learning and educating, I continue to remind myself that the learning/unlearning I have to do is a marathon, not a sprint. I/we don't have to learn it all in a day or a week. And if we try to do that, we will most likely burn out and not be as strong of an ally in the longterm.
I have officially been blogging for 10 years. And according to Wordpress, I've published almost 1900 blog posts in that time.
It's hard to believe that I was only 24 and newly dating Anel when I started "Lemons & Loafers" with a post, Greens Galore, about my very first CSA haul in the city and what I made with it.
Inspired by others in my industry (like Grace Atwood and Kate Huyett), in addition to donating money, I will donate my time to work with Black-owned business owners over the next month and beyond. Some of you know that in addition to blogging I have a digital marketing consulting business. Working with start-ups and small businesses is my real passion!
As a part of my commitment to doing better, I will be sharing and shopping from more Black-owned brands and sharing them on Lemon Stripes and thought I would start today with this list that features clean beauty, colorful clothing, and beautifully minimalist jewelry. I'm excited to try some of the new-t0-me products on this list.
