And that same trauma shouldn't be part of gaining success and notoriety in traditionally white food spaces.Before then, it was common practice for brands and publications to hastily approach us for work during key celebratory months in the year, most notably Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, or the Lunar New Year.
And that's something that mainstream food media still needs to sit with and unpack.. BIPOC food creators shouldn't have to be well-versed in only one kind of cuisine and be pigeonholed by our nationality or background.We shouldn't be tokenized as the official voice of a cuisine we grew up with.
