#tbt Read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell if you didn’t have to already. That’s the funny thing we read about stuff in school and then it starts to happen - so what did we learn?

Anywhoo... animals are awesome, even the scorpions.

Our 4 ingredient Umami Mushrooms are a certified H

Our 4 ingredient Umami Mushrooms are a certified HIT! Somehow through the lockdown I’ve been able to test this recipe out with a few of my favorite people here in LA.
🍄
2c Japanese Mushrooms: Shiitake, Maitake, Shimeji (or all 3 combined)
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1/2 c Coconut Cream, full fat!!
1tb @superfoodschool_ Umami #1 powder (or use 1tsp each of garlic and onion powder)

1. In a large pan heat 3tb of coconut cream over a low flame, once its bubbling add garlic and stir to coat. Adjust heat and add more cream if needed to avoid sticking/burning.

2. Once garlic is softened, add remaining coconut cream and spices and allow to lightly simmer for a few seconds before adding mushrooms.

3. Add mushrooms, stir to coat and simmer on a low flame, stirring as needed. The idea here is to cook LOW and SLOW to allow the rich umami flavor of the shrooms to take over the cream.

4. Once shrooms are softened to fork tender, serve over a bed of rice and top with chopped scallions.

Been eating the best plant-based lasagna on the planet all month. Like 3 squares at once.
🤣
Gonna drop the recipe on @superfoodschool_ soon...
🙏🏽
Because @eve_laurynn is on my 🍑 along with the rest of the world to get it out...lucky for her I’ll drop some off at her place mañana.

🥊”I would say things like 'I am the greatest! I'm pretty! If you talk jive, you'll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I'm pretty!' When white people heard me talking like this, some said, 'That black man talks too much. He's bragging.'” 🥊

So this woman to my right ran 26 MILES yesterday for her birthday... in Hawaii no less.
🤣
Ya’ll know I’m loving every minute of this.... and not in that fake-ass “must be nice” kind of way either..... This is self-care to the max and super inspirational...well for me at least.
😍
With that said, me + Vasha click because in a way we’re literally such DIVERSE personalities that we’re often perceived as unrelatable, which believe it or not has sometimes kept us from certain opportunities within our OWN communities because yes, we black folk have our boxes too and we don’t fit any of the stereotypes already set up...
🤔
See we’re not light skinned with “good hair” which is generally an automatic win in the black community we’re also not “hood” which often is accepted if it’s deemed charming... yet we’re also not the corporate-types eager to assimilate like many super educated black people choose to be... but neither a super pro-black afro-centric extremist sort either... and so on and so forth through the boxes.
✊🏾
No shade tho. We’ve all got a lot of programming to work through...
🤷🏽‍♀️
Plus nobody wanna really talk about that right now because we’re supposed to be focused elsewhere...but BELIEVE me Vasha is loving this whole rant right now - this is totally her style so I’ll keep going.
😹
Nevertheless, we’re super niche-y black chics and we know it - but we’re also AUTHENTIC and RELENTLESS... which clearly seems to trump being relatable in the long run (pun intended) but I digress.
🤷🏽‍♀️
In fact she actually came up with the term - RICH WHITE BOY FREEDOM - which seems to pretty much encompass how she rolls. She’s taken the American Dream and is running with it - literally.
🏃🏽‍♀️
In fact, the first time I met her she’d run the 13 or so miles to my house when at that time I was thinking “ew no.... the most I’d run is to catch a ✈️ but ok I’ll have a smoothie waiting for you, LOL.”
💦
Years later she’s inspired me to start running as well as countless others through her print magazine @undoordinary_ and the collaborations she’s had with people and companies all of the world.
👸🏽
Long story short- @askvash is a gem and I’m greatful to be a friend.
🙏🏽
Ok the end

DID YOU KNOW.... that 64% of Black Americans CAN’T SWIM*? This is a SURVIVAL skill we all should possess.

From the beach to the backyard - I’ve been working on making a water woman out of my niece and finally (with a little selfie motivation) we’ve made it.

First run back yesterday after a month of healing

First run back yesterday after a month of healing an injury. Brought my lil big bro out for the 4 mile occasion.
🏃🏽‍♀️
Feels good to be back to my therapy of choice - where I can make and meet my goals and don’t have to wait on anyone else to achieve them.
🙏🏽
