Loved @TacoTrail 's piece earlier this month https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/tex-mexplainer-pan-de-muerto-is-a-cross-cultural-taste-of-history/

Had the joy of editing @serenamaria36 's guide to pan de muerto last year https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/day-of-the-dead-where-to-buy-pan-de-muerto

I started thinking about pitching a story about Dia de los Muertos way back in the summer while writing this https://www.endocrineweb.com/race-and-covid-19

It's Not Unhealthy Behavior. It's Systemic Racism.

But I was also thinking about joy as resistance @foodculturist https://www.nytimes.com/article/juneteenth-food-black-chefs.html

A Juneteenth of Joy and Resistance

With the dual pressures of unrest and the pandemic, black chefs are contemplating the ways this holiday can help Americans cope.

What is the Mexican-American story here? Health, life and death, embodied joy within systems of oppression, legacy of colonialism, connection with ancestors -- all baked into pan de muerto https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2020/10/26/pan-de-muerto-recipe/

Perspective | This year, I need my ancestors more than ever. I’m baking pan de muerto to call them...
