The power of voices
This is a food site, yet not all of these links have to do with food. I and the Heated team believe that it’s useful and important to use this platform to show support for revolutionary changes around race, equity, fairness, and inclusion, changes that are long overdue.
You’ll find weekly updated links here, as well as — as we’ve said since we started Heated — narratives, features, opinions, and reported pieces that reflect our values.

An essential read from The New Yorker, an interview with Opal Tometi, a Black Lives Matter co-founder: “We have millions of people who have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment and are living paycheck to paycheck and hand to mouth, and I believe they are just thoroughly fed up and thoroughly beside themselves with grief and concern and despair because the government does not seem to have a plan of action that is dignified and comprehensive and seeks to address the core concerns that the average American has.
And so my belief and my view of these protests is that they are different because they are marked by a period that has been deeply personal to millions of Americans and residents of the United States, and that has them more tender or sensitive to what is going on.”
