“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize accept and celebrate those differences.”
Audre Lorde
Being an anti-racist ally is not a trendy, once-a-year effort. It’s a marathon of support today and always. Consider these Black-owned restaurants, food trucks, catering companies, and bakeries for your meals today – but also for the months and years to come.
They provide flavor, passion, and culture to the culinary community in Utah. That is worth protecting and preserving!
