I've always been impressed by the solidarity of the DMV area and generosity of the gluten-free community, which is why I wanted to put together a post with a round up of local businesses in the area you can support to not only ensure local businesses can weather the storm, but that your pantries and freezers can be stocked with safe gluten-free food.

In cities like mine, businesses large and small are reeling and seeking any kind of stable footing they can get. It's clear this is a crisis unlike anything the world has ever seen, and it's going to have ramifications for the foreseeable future. Gone are the simple pleasures of workplace banter and high fives and my favorite things about Washington DC, which are the vibrant arts scene and delicious restaurants. Like all of you, it's been really disconcerting to have the daily fabric of my life ripped apart by the coronavirus epidemic. Inspired by similar lists and articles, I've compiled a list of gluten-free friendly Black-owned restaurants and food businesses in the DC area. One such way is to support local Black-owned businesses, which not only have been impacted by inequality, but the negative impacts of covid19-related closures. Each and every one of us has a part to play in promoting equality in the communities we live in.

That can't happen however, without the clear and unequivocal acknowledgement that Black Lives Matter.īy typing, saying, or shouting those words in protest, millions across the country are uniting to reject the national paradigm that has for too long subjugated people of color through systemic economic, educational, and institutional inequity and racism. At a national, regional, and local level, the last two weeks have unleashed a swirling storm of emotions: outrage, exhaustion, heartbreak, but also renewed hope the 'more perfect union' generations of Americans have dreamed of can be realized.
