In Black communities around America, the bean pie is a symbol of the varied Muslim communities that emerged from the Nation of Islam’s nearly 100-year history in the United States. For many, the dessert stands for Black pride and healthy eating. Much of its fame comes from charismatic street vendors such as 40X, who spread the teachings of the late Minister Elijah Muhammad on city corners and at markets and fairs; those teachings include that the navy bean is a kind of superfood.

In conversations with Black elders, community historians, restaurateurs, religious leaders, academics and one bean pie man in a suit and bow tie, Ahmed Ali Akbar has learned a small part of how the South Side of Chicago holds the keys to the complex, core histories encoded within the bean pie. Despite unusually good access to the Nation of Islam and local community historians, much of the history was still difficult to verify. But it’s clear Chicago has some of the best claims to being the historic capital of the bean pie in the United States.

Invertir en proyectos inmobiliarios sostenibles puede ser tu legado para contribuir de la mejor manera al futuro del planeta. La inversión en activos inmobiliarios sostenibles busca crear valor mientras minimiza su impacto ambiental.

Estas inversiones se centran en reducir la huella ecológica y de carbono mediante la selección de materiales respetuosos con el medioambiente, el uso de energías renovables o un diseño que respeta el entorno local. Además, incorporan mecanismos de ahorro energético y prácticas operativas que cumplen con los criterios #ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).

As sales of alcoholic beverages have slowed in recent years, nonalcoholic beer, wine and spirits have emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the drinks industry. No longer a niche category for the sober or pregnant, NA drinks are attracting a wide audience of health-conscious, sober-curious or just occasionally alcohol-free consumers too.

For wine lovers, NA options have historically lagged behind beer, the overwhelming market leader. “Wine is still an emerging category in the nonalcoholic space,” says Hector Diaz, who founded In Good Spirits, the West Town nonalcoholic bottle shop and bar, with his partner, Adriana Gaspar. “But it’s gained momentum fast,” he adds, with a big influx of vibrant, creative products reshaping the market.

A few days back, I shared my experience with online delivery apps and how I spent almost ₹30,0000 in the span of 8 months on unnecessary things. However, the internet was quick to call me a “rookie”, quoting that there are people who spend that amount in just one month. I didn’t subscribe to this and hence did my own little research and guess what - I am actually a noob! I asked around in my office and turns out, people are spending far more on these apps for their essential and non-essential needs. Even more than ₹30,0000 in a month! Tap the link in the bio to find how much people in my office spend on quick commerce apps and comment down if you are also someone who spends so much.

(P.S: I know I am unhealthy and lazy)

The recent mishap that happened with social media star Ankush Bahuguna is a reminder to us that not even the most influential people are safe from scams.  Isn’t it a general human tendency to feel that nothing wrong can happen to us? Nobody thinks they’d become a victim of a scam or a fraud over a call. These scenarios make for a good Netflix show plot, but in real life, nah! Especially not for our generation, who has grown up on these cautionary tales through shows, movies, newspaper articles, and more recently, countless reels. However, all my perceptions altered after what happened to me this morning. Click the link in the bio to read the story of how I almost got scammed and who saved me.

The recent mishap that happened with social media star Ankush Bahuguna is a reminder to us that not even the most influential people are safe from scams. Isn’t it a general human tendency to feel that nothing wrong can happen to us? Nobody thinks they’d become a victim of a scam or a fraud over a call. These scenarios make for a good Netflix show plot, but in real life, nah! Especially not for our generation, who has grown up on these cautionary tales through shows, movies, newspaper articles, and more recently, countless reels. However, all my perceptions altered after what happened to me this morning.

? Savory Garlic Cheese “Bread” Flourless Fritters?✨

Hey mama, are you looking for a nutrient-dense breakfast for you and your toddler? Let me introduce you to my savory garlic cheese “bread” fritters! They’re flourless, gut-friendly, and packed with healthy fats and proteins—ideal for toddlers and moms who want a delicious, wholesome meal

Why These Fritters Are a Winner
? Cauliflower Love: Steamed cauliflower is the base here, bringing fiber, vitamin C, and gentle support for digestion. It’s a wonderful low-carb veggie that nourishes your gut lining and is so easy on little tummies.
? Egg Goodness: Egg yolks are a nutrient-dense superstar, loaded with choline and healthy fats to support brain development in your toddler—and keep you energized, mama!
? Garlic: Minced, pressed, or powdered garlic adds a savory kick while offering natural anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Perfect for this time of year!
? Fresh Chives: These little green wonders add a mild, oniony flavor and are rich in vitamins like K and C. They’re also a great way to introduce herbs to your toddler’s diet while adding a fresh, zesty touch.
? Cheesy Yum: For toddlers over 12 months, a sprinkle of cheese adds calcium and healthy fats for growing bodies. If you’re keeping it GAPS-friendly, try aged raw cheese for easier digestion.

A Snack for Every Stage
✔️ Perfect for Toddlers: These fritters are soft, easy to hold, and full of flavor without overwhelming sensitive taste buds.
✔️ Great for Moms: Whether you’re nursing, chasing toddlers, or just need a snack that keeps you full and happy, these fritters are a lifesaver.

Why They’re GAPS-Friendly
This recipe avoids grains, flours, and other inflammatory foods while focusing on nutrient-dense ingredients. It’s a great way to support gut healing while still enjoying something delicious. Plus, you can customize it with herbs like chives or garlic to keep things fresh and exciting!

? Pro Tip: Serve these warm with a side of fermented veggies or a dollop of sour cream for extra probiotic and fat-rich goodness.

When there was a lot of chatter around India’s entry for the Oscars, one country’s submission really caught our eyes. It was a film called 'Santosh' which was the UK’s entry. We googled it and were pleasantly surprised to see it was a Hindi-language film set in rural North India. The international coproduction has been shortlisted for the Best International Film Award at the Oscars and has emerged as one of the top candidates to be in the top 5 nominations. Recently, I got to interview director Sandhya Suri and the lead actor Shahana Goswami, and couldn’t stop thinking, “Wow, I am talking to potential Oscar winners”. Click on the link in the bio to read our candid chat about their film, which doesn’t shy away from showing the mirror to society, but without pointing fingers at anyone.
