I'm from Louisiana, and anyone who's ever been there knows that the food hit a lil different when you go down south.


Grits are a southern staple that has been a part of the culture for generations, and if you know black people, you know that we are quite particular with how this dish is prepared. In my household, grits are made perfect by adding cream, butter, cheese, and a high blood pressure-inducing amount of sodium.

It wasn't until one night when I slept over at my cousin's house, I learned that there are two very different types of people in this world. While I prefer this southern delicacy to be a savory dish, there are some very unique people in this world who prefer this dish with a very different ingredient. But before we go any further, let's be clear, sugar doesn't go in grits. Don't @ me.

The argument over the very best way to eat grits has stretched over decades, but recently, the cast of Dear White People got together to wish us all a Happy Juneteenth and solve this debate once and for all.

The show, which premiered in April 2017, is based on the feature film by the same name and is centered around the lives of African-American students at Winchester University, a fictional, predominantly white Ivy League institution. In the Netflix original series, the cast tackles controversial topics like abortion, colorism, interracial dating, and now, Southern food delicacies and exactly how they should be prepared.

Recently, the cast sat down to participate in The Great Grits Swap, where they each tried both sweet and salty recipes to determine which grit-preparation technique is the greatest of all time, and the results might surprise you. While Coco (Antoinette Robertson), agreed with my salt-to-grit ratio suggestion and implied that savory grits are the Beyonce of all breakfast dishes, a few of her cast members, including Logan Browning disagreed with this sentiment.

Although the third volume of the Dear White People won't be available for streaming on Friday, August 2nd, you can get your daily dose of Winchester by clicking below to see what recipe won the sweet/salty debate among some of our favorite cast members from the show:

May is about being patient, nurturing your dreams, and creating beauty in your world. This is a more stable and generous month than the chaos that April brought, and we get an opportunity for closure, healing, and rejuvenation this month. We are still amid some important retrograde transits, but these are ones we can navigate better by grounding our energy in the present moment, and not allowing ourselves to stress over the what-ifs.

With the Sun in Taurus for most of the month, May reminds us that there is beauty in finding your peace and not allowing anyone to disrupt that.

There is no one way to walk the journey to motherhood, and that part doesn't get talked about nearly enough. For many women, Mother's Day is a joyful time to honor the moms who raised us. But for others, it can bring up a quieter kind of grief: if you're trying to conceive, navigating infertility, mourning a pregnancy loss, or simply not a mom yet when you wish you were, this season can feel especially heavy.
