Stressed. Sad. TIRED.

I’m cooking all weekend, best way I know to manage stress on my own.

Inspired by the incredible black chef Harold Sims IV, (who won on an episode of Cooking With Cannabis on Netflix, a great show) I’m looking to make some ethiopian food this weekend.

Any reccos or recipes? I’m def doing injera (fermented flatbread) and looking for a sampling of sides. 😋

I just made a killer soba noodle dish.

Boil the noodle separately run cool water over to avoid clumping. Ginger, scallions, mushrooms, thin sliced flank steak marinaded in homemade teriyaki sauce for a night in the fridge, chili garlic, baby spinach and 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Then just because I’m stress eating, I made some cabbage crispy rolls.

Additional Posts in Black In Advertising

Becoming An (Advertising) Influencer

There are a ton of white advertising influencers, most are mediocre. I'm curious everyone's thoughts on being Black in advertising and if you think we are shooting ourselves in the foot by not being as present online as our white counterparts.

I finally have work that I am proud of and can back up my stance, but I feel that it's not only too self-serving, but just creates a new class of gatekeepers, especially in our community.
