Скачать или смотреть Black History Month: Why It’s Personal for Me | Still Eating Good Ep. 8

Black History Month is personal for me. My kids are half Black — or what we lovingly call “Blackapino” (half Black, half Filipino) -- so this isn’t just history on a calendar. It’s part of our home, our family, and our story. And that means it’s my responsibility to keep learning, listening, and understanding.

In Episode 8 of Still Eating Good, I visit the Domini Hoskins Black History Museum and Learning Center in Redwood City, CA where I sit down with Founder and Executive Director Carolyn Hoskins to explore how Black Americans helped shape the U.S., California and the Bay Area. From West Oakland during the Great Migration to the founding of the Black Panther Party -- black history in California isn’t a footnote, it's part of the foundation.

I also visit Claire’s Crunch Cake in San Mateo, a beloved Black-owned bakery founded by Claire Cullen Mack, who also served three terms as San Mateo’s first Black mayor. Inspired by the famous Blum’s Coffee Crunch Cake of the 1940s, Claire revived the iconic honeycomb topped dessert after her youngest daughter rediscovered the candy that gives it its signature crunch.

This episode isn’t just about history. It’s about legacy, ownership, representation, and supporting the communities that shape where we live.
