This is WIC's 50 year anniversary. Congress is attempting to alleviate a much needed resource for so many Americans, especially low income families. I know that the WIC community was a great help in my time of need. I ask you all to vote and keep this important necessity for all women as it relates to the childbearing process and the accommodations that this program has to offer.

Thank you,

Eating Noble

What inspires you about Black History Month?

"My people. Every year, seeing how we continue to bring awareness to our brothers and sisters that didn't get recognition, as well as continuing to see how we band together to celebrate ourselves and encourage each other is inspiring."

What inspires you about Black History Month?

"Something that inspires me about Black History Month is witnessing the living Black history around me in my fellow Black peers as they make their way around our primarily white campus. I am inspired by the way that they make safe and comforting spaces for themselves and those around them. They do this not for exclusionary purposes, but to build community within our smaller groups. Their efforts help us connect better on campus as we learn to show up as our authentic selves by seeing others do it- it's inspiring."

Did you know Toni Morrison had a famous carrot cake recipe? Neither did we! Thanks !

What inspires you about Black History Month?

"When I was growing up, Black History Month was year-round. Knowing and understanding your "Roots" (beyond the television program) was, and still is, heavily emphasized in our household. However, in recent years, Black History Month has become a time where I strive to uncover and celebrate the Black historical narratives that are frequently silenced and deprioritized - the stories of Black women. There is, of course, the historical research that I enjoy, such as listening to the oral histories of my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother as they recount experiences with racism, desegregation busing and sharecropping. Then, there is also the creative representation of Black women I enjoy, such as the screen adaptations of Toni Morrison's 'Beloved,' Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' and Alice Walker's 'The Color Purple.' For me, Black History Month is a special time for me to celebrate being a Black woman, and find myself springing from the "Roots" of the Black women who came before me."

Unfortunately, Nova's story is an example of a public health/holistic living concern for members of underserved communities, including Black/African-Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Indians, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders and/or White persons living at or below poverty guidelines.

- Health inequities | When barriers prevent individuals and communities from accessing conditions that allow them to reach their full potential

- Health disparities | Differences in health status between people that are related to social or demographic factors such as race, gender, age, income, or geographic region (one way we can measure progress towards achieving health equity)

- Health equity | The state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health

"Knowledge is fruit." I figured I could start by reading at least one book a week. I know I have five showing, but to be frankly honest, I'm revisiting one book I've already read, "Makes Me Wanna Holler" by Nathan McCall. If you read further below, I have listed a brief description of each book. I hope you'll be inspired to read these books along with me, to choose a book of your preference, or to share a book of your own for me to explore.

- "Make Me Wanna Holler" by Nathan McCall | I was first introduced to this book while away at an HBCU approximately around the ages of 19/20. This author describes living in a good household and neighborhood, but then also being subjected to the streets and committing a felony, turning his life around in prison and ultimately becoming a highly respected journalist for the Washington Post.

- "A Most Beautiful Thing" by Arshay Cooper | This book is now a documentary narrated by Common about the author dealing with his mother as a recovering addict, having three siblings, sleeping in a one room apartment, born in Chicago (on the West side) and dealing with that particular side being a war zone. It is the true story of America's first all-Black high school rowing team with many of the team never being in water and facing adversity with racism, gang violence and a sport that none of them have ever experienced.

- "Agaat" by Marlene van Niekerk | This story is about institutional racial violence 'expressed through the bodies and souls of its victims and perpetrators.' It discusses intimacy, domestic violence, human violence against the natural world and the subtle violence of pride, folly and self-deception. A fictional work set in 1940s apartheid South Africa.

- "Kindred" by Octavia E. Butler | A blend of sci-fi and African-American literature about a modern Black woman named Dana who is transported to the Antebellum South while celebrating her 26th birthday.

- "invisible child" by Andrea Elliott | Based on a true story, this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel follows a young girl for 8 years of her life as she deals with homelessness, poverty and racism in an unequal America.

What inspires you about Black History Month?

"As a young girl, Black History Month was something that occurred 365 days of the year versus 28 or 29 days (if it's a leap year). While I was growing up, my mother always kept a set of special order encyclopedias. They included Black History in the prefix before you got to the dictionary portion. I remember we were so excited during the month of February to finally see ourselves on public television through two very important series. They would run on what is now known as the WB (Channel 45) for about a week each. These series were called "Shaka Zulu" and Alex Haley's "Roots." We also participated in local events at our public library and often gave speeches. I think as I have become older and a mother of three, I still carry those traditions. However, through my own Black/African-American experience, from a young person to adulthood, my concerns lie heavily on not only how we utilize that knowledge, but how it is still being torn away from us. Furthermore, I worry about how that disengagement of knowing 'the Black experience' has and still is affecting our youth and current circumstances as a people in this nation."

I don't know about you all, but oftentimes when I hear about people being adventurous in the great outdoors, specifically when climbing mountains, the most common names you hear are Mt. Everest and Mt. Kilimanjaro. You often hear about the difficulty of climbing these high mountains and the perseverance it takes. People discuss the training needed to not only successfully climb these mountains, but to successfully make the descent uninjured and alive.

I think the most exciting part about Black History Month is the realization that what you thought you already knew, you didn't really know. It's the moment your world is totally shaken when you find out that even a mountain adventure involved you as a Black/African-American person. Honestly, how many of you knew that Mt. Kilimanjaro (also one of the most difficult mountains to climb) is in Tanzania (Africa)? I was astonished when I read this article from a Winter Term class at my daughters' university.

Their university is the literal epitome of private white institutions (PWIs). So, I was both astonished and frighteningly pleased to hear that they wrote about this experience in Africa for their courses. I think it's noteworthy to mention that they wrote a book about it because honestly, they should have. I would encourage you to read the full article, especially during Black History month. This is a time that we're given to learn about the struggle (and the contributions during those struggles) that we've had to endure as descendants from slave ancestry and in present day living as a Black/African-American...One of the students said the following quote, I hope you all can learn from it.

“They begin to understand that this can help not just me in a culture that is seeing higher amounts of depression and anxiety, but they begin to think about, ‘How can I use these skills for others around me?’” Parks added.

This is a repost from the about pioneers in food safety that are Black/African-Americans who have made great contributions to the way we consume food. Please check out each slide.

The first person is:

George Washington Carver | (He did more than peanuts!) He helped with fortifying our food chain.

Next are the following:

Percy Lavon Julian | He was not only a chemist (with soybeans, I know you thought it was only Asian culture), but he also helped enhance the nutritional value of food.

Frederick McKinley Jones | He invented mobile refrigeration units.

Lloyd Augustus-Hall | An innovator in food preservation, his techniques kept/keeps your food safe from spoilage and bacteria.

John Standard | Standard received a patent for the refrigerator, an unsung hero in shaping modern conveniences.

Kudos to you for your enlightenment and pursuit of acknowledging the Black/African-American contributions to food equity.
