I’ve been enjoying the Culinary Cookbook Celebration of Black History series so far and I hope you have too! Today’s recipe is the first where I’m selecting a foundational recipe from one of the cookbooks and turning it into something brand new. We recently learned all about The Ebony Cookbook by Freda DeKnight and the selected recipe was the Everyday Cake. This cake is truly versatile due to its lightness and strength, as its ability to pair well with various ingredients. Because of th...| A Certain Aesthetic
The Ebony Cook actually began as a monthly culinary column called “A Date with a Dish” in Ebony Magazine. It was started in 1946 by their first food editor, Freda DeKnight, who made a concerted effort to bring international attention to the importance of African American dishes. A notable moment in the column’s history was when the illustrious Lena Horne was featured in Ebony Magazine’s February 1947 issue. She cooked East Indian Chicken, a Trinidadian dish, for her feature “Date wi...| A Certain Aesthetic
Yay! It’s Black History Month! I am thrilled to contribute to this celebratory time by honoring those who have placed their mark in history in the arena of the culinary arts! Many of us have had the joy and privilege to have elders and peers who are masters in their kitchens to cook for us and bring sheer delight to our palates. They have inspired us and given us the tools of the trade to be the best in our own kitchens and beyond. For that, I am eternally grateful!| A Certain Aesthetic

Let’s talk about a dessert with history baked right in—tea cakes. These little gems have been a staple in Black homes for generations, carrying with them the weight of resilience, resourcefulness, and community. In 2025, the theme for Black History Month is “African Americans and Labor”, and you better believe tea cakes fit right into that narrative. From the backbreaking labor that cultivated their key ingredients to the hands that shaped and passed down each recipe, tea cakes are mo...| Moody Brands
Tea cakes aren’t just a snack—they’re a story. Born from resilience and resourcefulness, these soft, simple cookies have been a staple in Black homes for generations. Enslaved African Americans, denied access to the refined pastries of their enslavers, crafted their own version using what little they had—molasses, brown sugar, nutmeg, and ingenuity. But the story of tea cakes isn’t just about what went into them—it’s about the labor that made them possible. From sugarcane fields...| Moody Teas

I’ve been connected to The Journal for a long time, and it’s in part because of the Black History Month issue. It all started in Vol. 148 when the then Editors in Chief sent out an e-mail call-out looking for Black writers and artists to contribute to a Black History Month special issue of The Journal. While Matt and Raechel couldn’t craft a Black History Month issue at the time, their efforts to include more BIPOC creatives in The Journal are what got me started at the paper.| The Queen's Journal

From a young age, Victoria Okwudi, Nurs ’25, was drawn to the art of braiding and styling Black hair. She grew up in admiration of her aunt, who owned her very own salon, and revered all the “grown folks” getting their hair done while chatting about their grown-up lives. She quickly realized her aunt’s salon wasn’t only a place for primping and preening, but also an essential hub for connection in her local Black community.| The Queen's Journal
In honour of Black History Month, I thought it was a good time to assess the policies and initiatives present at Queen’s and nationwide that aim to promote inclusivity and diversity in sports.Traditionally, a lack of representation, along with economic barriers, has kept Black children from participating in organized sports.
