Fufu and Grits

Fufu and Grits is a metaphor that reminds us of our commitment to celebrating the Black diaspora. There are few things as representative of culture as the foods we eat. The family recipes kept generation after generation are a time machine connecting us to our roots. Whether you like your Grits sweet or savory or think Fufu is better with egusi than peanut butter stew, you have a place here because we know there’s no one way to be us.

At the same time, we are troubled by the imbalance of this world. Racism, prejudice, and inequality inhibit Black people worldwide, making the possibility of achievement harder and challenging our right to a decent life. Why should our color determine our fate? With good design and creative thinking, we can further amplify what makes Black culture unique.
