THE BEST OF KANTHA FOR ALL!
A few weeks ago on International Women's Day, our blanket producing partner, Basha, wrote this:
Eloquent words and a beautiful portrait of the opportunity for renewal & new beginnings each and every day. I am thankful to be involved in this good work!
In the spirit of embracing a new life, today we've launched the "Embrace Collection". New unique kantha throws and mini kantha blankets are now available at dignify!
A few stories, as I parse through the complexities of privilege & justice…
When I was in Bangladesh, we visited a village outside of Jashore (a city in which Basha has a production centre, where I visited a brothel) to call on some homes of women who sew blankets for Basha.
We spent time visiting in Dhomina’s relatively large home. The space had been expanded to include a separate cooking space — built upon because of the income she earned making kantha for Basha, for us. Amazing!
I've shared my favourite reads in the past, and today I'm sharing some faves to cook.
This is not a cooking blog (obviously) and I haven't styled any plates or hired any food photographers. I am no expert, but I do cook great food. This assertion is not self-congratulatory! I have little (no) inherent skill and I attribute all of my good cooking to 1) other people's excellent recipes, 2) access to fresh, reliable, & varied food, and 3) time (ie. the time I currently have currently to cook AND the many years of practice).
What is happening with dignify?
How are the women in Bangladesh doing?
What impact has the coronavirus pandemic had on what you're doing?
These are all questions I have received over the last two months, so here are some updates.
