We're having a popup at Hi Goose Studio on the 11th and 12th. Shop vintage clothes and tea. A portion of proceeds from both days will benefit Furvana Cat Rescue. They're doing really important TNR and cat rescue work here in Bayonne.

Amber from Hi Goose is launching her spring collection of curated vintage clothes. I'm the local tea expert so I'll be selling copies of my book, The Tea Recipe Book, as well as a selection of teas and vintage teacups. This month's featured tea is a delicious chai concentrate that you can use to make lattes and other tasty things.

Last weekend I was planning to take my friends to Capoeira, a Brazilian Portuguese restaurant, for brunch. As I walked up I saw a statue of a dark skinned Black woman in a provocative jezebel pose, definitely giving Venus hottentot. I was so excited to go but I could not give them my money. I felt like they actively chose to be misogynoir, and then next to the statue is just a normal standing light skinned woman statue. Also felt like it was showing colorism. It was too much to just walk past and eat there. I know colonial thinking and racism are everywhere but some places I feel like can’t even enter the front door and it’ll still slap me with racism. Ironically the website says it has a welcoming and humanized environment. But for me as a Black woman, it felt dehumanizing.
