Happy Juneteenth! At TDO, this month we've been celebrating Pride Month, reflecting back on antiracism pledges, and slowing down for summer. This 

volume of Taste is packed with articles, podcasts, and people we absolutely adore. We hope you love it as much as we have loved putting it together!

Racism still proliferates every aspect of society. In honor of Juneteenth we invite our community to explore our list of articles, books, podcasts, and more to continue your lifelong antiracist education.

The latest Vox Conversations podcast episode beautifully explores what an anti-racist world could look like with historian and author of How to Be an Antiracist, Ibram X. Kendi. Be sure to check out Dr. Kendi's new podcast too: Be Antiracist!

Ashley Johnson, @hiaj on Insta, is hands down one of our favorite creative people on the internet. While all she does inspires awe, lately we have been drooling over her food account @hiaj.eats. Her highlights are a treasure trove of cooking tips and techniques, plus brilliant recipe ideas to add to your arsenal. (Be sure to read her “Read Me” highlight before engaging though!

If you haven't run across Lydia Okello online before you have been missing out. Lydia is a digital creator, writer, and model (find them at @styleisstyle on Instagram) with the most stellar taste. Every outfit they post is a work of art so of course when we saw the Curvy Fashionista interviewed Lydia we were eager to learn more about the person behind the style. Let's just say you're gonna love them even more after this read!

Over the past couple of years of running Two Days Off, founder Gina has noticed a gap in building a truly sustainable wardrobe. A gap that won't be filled by selling sustainable clothes alone. We have been quietly working away on a new project for the past year and can't wait to share it with you! Sign-up to find out when it launches.

In case you missed it, Emi Ito of @little_kotos_closet and Gina joined host Kestrel of Conscious Chatter to discuss the inspiration and process behind the new Yoko Capsule. Take a listen to hear more about the heart of this collection and the bond between these two friends.

Please join us next Friday, June 25th, for a live guided meditation led by Kayla M. Walker, founder of @called.home! Kayla is a dear friend and long time supporter of Two Days Off so we are very honored to be able to share their gifts with you all and ease our way into the weekend. The meditation will be held on Instagram at 9am PST. 

You guessed it, we've added some summer jams to the Taste playlist on Spotify. Head on over for some easy listening!
