I find it interesting that with all these girls putting together these The South 2015, brands or whatever, they’re always cutting out black people. As if black people don’t live in the south/ haven’t contributed greatly to southern culture in its current landscape. #sippintea Read more

It’s interesting, the idea of promoting Southern-made products is a big goal of the most recent editor of Southern Living.
