It is the last episode before So-Called Oreos takes a hiatus for the summer before our well anticipated rebrand! (Don't worry we will still have episodes for you to listen to during the break.) Before the main topic of discussion, the hosts discuss some problematic celebrities and the real definition of "cancel culture." In honor of Juneteenth, the Oreos give some background on the holiday and discuss how they celebrated (or didn't celebrate) growing up. The Melanin Martha aka Jordan Wimby joins the show to talk about platform that is dedicated to healing generational trauma by reconnecting with our ancestors and history through food. Jordan explains why its important for us to appreciate the food we eat and how to stop the anti-blackness in the food world. She touches on historical points in Netflix's High on the Hog, how our ancestors gained power in cooking and why "soul food" isn't less healthy than food mostly consumed by white people.   The Melanin Martha: www.instagram.com/themelanin_martha/ Relief Factor: bit.ly/3f5iKMo Join us on Discord!: discord.gg/d3RrepdTdQ So-Called Oreos Club: www.joinclubhouse.com/club/so-called-oreos Merch: https://socalledoreos.bigcartel.com/ Email: [email protected] Twitter: @sufficientlyblk Instagram: @sufficinetlyblk YouTube: https://bit.ly/3nutxC2 Audience Survey: bit.ly/2vOYtH9
