Hi fam,

Happy Juneteenth! 

CLC is recognizing this as a national holiday and I hope you are too. May we continue this fight for equality, together. 

Sending a different kind of note this week, take a moment:...scorched earth,patterned plane and bare souls walking withered veins.

each step, unlearned dancewaking seed beneath.

resiliency, grounding.

...

We must find ways to do the work beyond this moment. Sending light, love, and bravery to make change.

Stay hungry,Hawnuh Lee | Founder, Closed Loop Cooking

Amber Tamm’s Future Farm FundSupport Black farmers and donate to Amber Tamm’s beautiful Future Farm Fund. A safe space for regenerative farming practices, future lineages to connect with the Earth, and a means to cultivate community to protect and heal the land. In Amber’s words, “This would also be an opportunity for me to find a way to give land access back to the original indigenous people of the future land I decide to rest upon. This would not be MY land - It'd be Ours.”
