Meme’s Diner and Queer Soup Night have joined forces to benefit TheOkraProject by selling foods from queer makers.
—a 5-item, $50 option and a larger, 15-item one that costs $150—and can be picked up at Meme's on Wednesday, July 1. Those purchasing totes can expect to find everything from benne wafers to turmeric popcorn seasoning to kimchi paste to bottled cocktails, but the exact contents of each bag are a surprise.
"So much of focus among our friends right now is on Black Lives Matter, racial justice, and supporting the Black trans community in particular," said Queer Soup Night creator Liz Alpern, noting that the idea for the fundraiser was generated before the current wave of protests: "We didn’t know who we would donate the money to, but knew we were going to donate it.
"As queer chefs, our products can be inaccessible to a lot of people, and this is a way we can come together to show support," said Willis. "The Black trans people being fed by The Okra Project are the ones who started Pride in the first place."Sign Up Now The latest fashion news, beauty coverage, celebrity style, fashion week updates, culture reviews, and videos on Vogue.com.
