Karibe and Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a special day here at Karibe. Being a black owned cookware and American Kitchenware Brand it gives me great pleasure to feature Juneteenth. This federal holiday in the United States is fairly new, but inspire us to continue to build a brand with strong ethics and value to be an ideal representation of black business.
Much like other brands that would like to insult the holiday and offer a Juneteenth Sale, we decided to pay respect and create a special post to commemorate our Freedom Day. Although I can’t describe with words the full impact of the holiday, I will do my best to educate you on our Black Independence Day.
As you continue to read, you will notice that I will use various names to identify the holiday. This is part of the lesson. After your brief education session, it is only right that we provide you with a few foodies that represent The Kulture. Karibe’s favorite foodies for Juneteenth is a must. What else did you expect!? Read on and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. ?
What is Juneteenth?
June 19, 1865 is a celebration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth naming scheme is the combination of the month of June and the 19th day. Juneteenth is also commonly known as Freedom Day and Black Independence Day.
How Do We Celebrate Black Independence Day?
Honoring Black Independence Day is celebrated in many different forms. The first rule is to have fun and recognize that this should be a jovial day. If you are looking for things to do, you should look into any local food festivals. Now I am biased because we offer cookware, but I do not know how to celebrate any other holiday without food in your stomach.
If you are unable to find any food festivals, you can definitely form your own community gatherings. Have a private cookout or bring the whole neighborhood together with a block party. Put your cell phone down and take the time to get to know each other the old fashion way.
Lastly, why not reflect on the history and the impact African-Americans had within the United States. Educate the youth of your family history and notable heroes within our culture.
Karibe and Juneteenth
The 19th day of June is a special day for African- American culture. Here at Karibe, we take the time to reflect and be grateful for the opportunities we have today. This is a day that we do not put ourselves under any stress and take the time to find inspiration and motivation to become better every day.
As we continue to grow, we would like to highlight a few of our Juneteenth foodies that inspire us in the kitchen. Check out our list below.
Juneteenth Foodies
For all my Karibbeans, we understand that preparing your meal is a process. Foodies of all levels understand that you have to be one with your kitchen tools. The chefs and bloggers (Juneteenth Foodies) below have caught our attention and we can’t get enough of them.
