In support of the Black Lives Matter movement and honoring the loss of Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot by police in her home in Louisville, KY on March 13th, there will not be a full moon recipe posted this month. The full moon fell on what would have been Brianna’s 27th birthday. She was an essential worker, providing health care services during the pandemic, and was one of many victims that have passed away at the hands of police brutality.

I encourage everyone that has been a fan of this page and looks forward to the monthly baking challenge to take this time to learn about Breonna’s story and the many like her’s that entrench our nation in civil unrest. As a privileged white women, I can not speak to the challenges and pain, people of color have experienced for generations. I can however speak out on their behalf and offer space for their voices to be heard. Here is a list of resources for ways to take action. It’s important to show up, speak out, and do it now! Instead of a recipe challenge this month I challenge us to stand up to injustice and get involved. Be safe, be smart, and be kind.

Rest in power Breonna. We’re holding heart!
