Here's why you should be adding frozen veggies to your shopping cart! 📷

2. Frozen produce has a longer shelf-life
3. Frozen vegetables are picked when they’re perfectly ripe
4. Frozen veggies are just as healthy — if not more so

At 2 AM on July 11, 1958, newly married couple Richard and Mildred Loving were abruptly awakened in their bedroom by a Virginia sheriff.
The sheriff questioned Richard, a white man, asking, "What are you doing in bed with this woman?"
Mildred, a woman of both Black and Indigenous American heritage, responded, "I'm his wife."
The sheriff retorted, "Not here, you're not."
During that era, Virginia still had laws against interracial marriage, and the Lovings were taken into custody for their unlawful cohabitation.
For nearly nine years, the couple was forced to live away from their hometown, but they eventually boldly decided to challenge the state's discriminatory laws in the Supreme Court.
In 1967, the groundbreaking Loving v. Virginia ruling effectively decriminalized interracial marriage throughout the entire United States.

When I was buying my house, it blew my mind when my lender asked if my family couldn’t just gift me the down payment money, saying that gifts/loans of $50k to $100k weren’t uncommon from families of first-time homebuyers. That’s the 400-year head start we don’t have.

Also, I’m sick of explaining racism. You invented it. You should know it better than me.

I’ve been talking about racism on TV now for over 35 years, but I don’t recall a moment quite like this one. And just like many of you, I’ve been talking with friends and I noticed the same questions kept coming up: Is this the moment that will finally change our country?
