About Fufu and Grits
We Are For The Visionaries Who See The Full Spectrum Of Blackness.
Fufu and Grits is a metaphor that reminds us of our commitment to celebrating the Black diaspora. There are few things as representative of culture as the foods we eat. The family recipes kept generation after generation are a time machine connecting us to our roots. Whether you like your Grits sweet or savory or think Fufu is better with egusi than peanut butter stew, you have a place here because we know there’s no one way to be us. At the same time, we are troubled by the imbalance of this world. Racism, prejudice, and inequality inhibit Black people worldwide, making the possibility of achievement harder and challenging our right to a decent life. Why should our color determine our fate? With good design and creative thinking, we can further amplify what makes Black culture unique.
We Use Our Joy Of Creating To Honor, Respect, And Celebrate Black Cultures.
Here, we celebrate Black culture as a means to connect what makes us beautiful. We use our talent to share human experiences and welcome all that can get behind that. We create what we want to see in the world, collaborate with others who wish to do the same and enjoy ourselves while doing it. While we celebrate what makes Black culture uniquely beautiful, we do so regarding the disparities we face. We’re filling the void in the professional creative industry that needs more variety. It is the spice of life, and we’re here to spice things up.
