This article was so great. It’s the kind of post that motivates you to action…plus Lindsey’s site is amazing! I encourage you all to take a peek at her site, Pinch of Yum!
Lindsey lives in Minnesota and has seen first hand the fight for Anti-racism. Her suggestions are easy and things we can do immediately regardless of age, income, and time. Older children can even join in and make a commitment to change their perspective and be more pro-active.


I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
