Last week, J.Crew celebrated their latest collaboration with Christopher John Rogers at the newly opened BRASS, toasting the vintage-inspired collection with groovy neon jello shots. Guests flaunted their brightest reds and bold stripes for a playful evening of cocktails and canapes, with an on-point midcentury spread by Chef Jen Monroe of Bad Taste. From the rich cheese fondue in vibrant midcentury Dansk pots, to the cocktail olive garlands and cauliflower toy poodles, the night served as a reminder that life is better in color.
Thank you to J.Crew, Christopher John Rogers, Bad Taste, BRASS, Kate Owen, Love Me Not Floral, DJ Young Wavy Fox, and our amazing team at Care of Chan: Dani Dillon, Esther Robinsun-Abrams, Kalisa Marie Levette, Maggie Russell, Marci DeLozier Haas, Olivia Johnson, and creative producer, Ruby Elmhirst.

I'm watching High on the Hog, an excellent food series on Netflix about Black cuisine from all over the diaspora. I know many companies will choose this month to only feature American Southern Cuisine but please remember that Blackness is not a monolith. There is no one "Black" food, there isn't one type of African, African-American, Caribbean, Afro-European, Afro-Latin, Afro-Asian.. you see where I'm going with it..
I worked at a vfx company that had an industrial kitchen, they let us cook whatever we wanted, and they also catered meals. I worked late and would cook and bake all the time. I would share my meals with my co-workers, and we had a little after work foodie community that I truly miss. The one thing I appreciated is that the company would hire really good caterers who brought every type of food from lumpia to collard greens all year long, we had an array of different pepper sauces co-workers would bring from all over the world that anyone could use. Having that choice, made me feel comfortable, I was able to be myself at work. Having tabasco, sriacha, tapatio, wasabi paste or crystal hot sauce might seem like a small thing, but it's still a representation of culture.
I have worked a lot of places with awful food, especially at larger companies who water down "ethnic" meals and remove their wonderful spices to appease the palate of the majority. If you are still planning or thinking about having a Black History celebration, please hire a caterer or vendor. Do not expect your corporate chefs to make gumbo, jollof rice, mofongo, la bandera, black eyed peas, injera, or any other combination of foods that represent these various cultures. If you want to celebrate Black History or any other cultural history in the kitchen, do it all the time, not just during the nationally designated month.
Fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is crucial, especially in light of the disbandment of DEI teams and ERG groups by several companies. The current trend of attempting to diminish diversity underscores the urgency of our commitment to creating inclusive workplaces.
If you find comfort in enjoying a diverse array of cuisines, such as Taco Tuesday, curry, ramen, and more, it is imperative that your workplaces reflect the same diversity and inclusion. Otherwise, companies risk contributing to the very problem we should be actively addressing. Let us strive to build environments where every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued, heard, and represented. Oh and watch High on the Hog :)
