The Spice Rack
For Womxn of Color
By Womxn of Color
Building the Rack
Our name, The Spice Rack, was inspired by the importance of spices in culture. It serves as a personification of the Womxn & Femmes who are typically seen as the keepers of these blessings. Spices, in all their versatility, are essential in relating to others, building connections, and creating change. While many communities have their mainstay spices - combinations that are unique to their histories and circles - another culture may use the same herb or seed in a completely different way. Simply put, The Spice Rack speaks to the Diaspora of Womxn of Color and their distinct, extraordinary ability to come together to stir up beauty.
A Word from Our Founder
I am a survivor. All Womxn of Color are survivors. Each day we wake up in a world that institutionally treats us as an afterthought, we prove that we can and will survive.
I spent a long time searching for... something. I felt a mysterious void in my life. When I allowed myself to be vulnerable enough to share this with others - I found that I was not alone. Thus, The Spice Rack was born.
The Spice Rack encourages Womxn and Femmes of Color to do more than survive - I want you to thrive. Can we make it on our own? Potentially. But I've tried that and I can tell you from experience: it's so much better when we make it together.
We're Here for You
