Its about food justice and honoring EARTH AND CELEBRATING CULTURE!
Who are we?
An Activist, An Urban Goddess, A Christian Guy and A Hip Hop Head from Detroit.
We are hosting a Juneteenth “Death of the Food Desert” Celebration! Say Food Desert to the Urban Goddess, it isn’t pretty!
If you don’t know about Juneteenth and why we would celebrate it, check back here. The hip hop guy, who is also a historian in the making, will post something about it.
Its a fund raiser! It’s a grand opening!
We are opening the Graffiti and Grub Market! (formerly the Good Food Market). THIS IS WHERE WE KILL THE FOOD DESERT LANGUAGE!
Local Chefs are preparing the best organic, local, sustainable food.
Vegans, Vegetarians, Meatarians – All are welcome!!!
What’s For Dinner? Lots of organic, locally grown veggies, grains and sustainable meat supplied by Harvest America that’s the Christian Guys thing! WE CAN ARRANGE FOR THE CHRISTIAN TO DELIVER A BOX OF ORGANIC VEGGIES TO YOUR HOME, SCHOOL, OR CHURCH. THAT’S EXTRA, WE WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT WHEN YOU GET TO THE DINNER!

You can see how much you know about YOUR culture, when we play the popular game, “The Hip Hop Game of Skillz”. You might even when win a prize, if you have skillz. Don’t get excited, it’s a t-shirt or a book. You can also buy your very own game for $40. 00 bucks. The hip hop guy invented the game, he may even sign it for you but you have to ask. He is from Detroit. Enuf said.

Just heard about your store today on npr. Sounds like a great, great place. Sorry I missed the first fundraiser, but I’ll definitely check back for the next one.
Good luck with the store!

I saw a story about your store on the news this morning and I wanted to commend you on the love, food, education and service that you are offering to that community. Looking forward to joining you at your next event.
