Friends who have been to Georgia told me the count Friends who have been to Georgia told me the country has one of the best cuisines in the world. 🇬🇪 I get it now. I completely get it. It feels like a land especially blessed with rich soil bearing forth nuts, vegetables, fruits, and the very best nature has to offer. The cuisine is rustic and very close to nature. It simply feels right, familiar, wholesome, and extremely tasty. @eatthistoursgeorgia offers incredible food experiences around Georgia.

You’ve all heard the news by now from Sweden 💔🇸🇪 I’m still settling into my feelings about it all, especially as we collectively raise its next generation. While I give myself space and time to process this all, I am grateful the work I’ve done so far through @lagombook and most especially @ineverymirror are now resonating more than ever. Immigrants continue to be the truth-bearers of a culture. Sharing stories about Black women living their daily truths was seen as an affront by some white readers of @ineverymirror and their idealized image of Sweden. To give you some perspective from @Aftonbladet - one of Sweden’s largest newspapers. “Sweden has become Europe’s most extreme country. No other Western European country has such a high percentage of parliament from the far right.” The most open society run by the most private people. I simply told it like it is. So, until I can find eloquent words from my wildly beating heart at the moment… Greetings from Georgia 🇬🇪 📸 @visuals.by.bri
