Click here   Black Voices on Serious Eats Back in June, 2020, we issued a statement affirming our solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and acknowledging the insidious role of systemic racism in our industry and the country as a whole. We also set internal goals to meaningfully grow the presence of Black voices and stories on our site. Many of you have asked us what progress we've made, so today we want to take a moment to update you. We have not hired any new full-time staff members; as we reported in our June statement, we do not have any Black staff members or editors. However, we have significantly increased the number of freelancers we work with and the ratio of contributor to staff-produced content that runs on the site. Since issuing our statement, we’ve published 90 articles and recipes by 34 contributors. Of those contributors, 25 are BIPOC, including 11 Black contributors; the remaining nine are white. In terms of content volume, 70 of the 90 articles were authored by BIPOC, including 21 authored by Black writers, most of whom are working on future pieces for us right now, too. Our work is ongoing and we're constantly looking to widen our contributor base. We’d love to hear from readers about what types of stories they’d like to see from us in the future. In the meantime, our team has nominated a selection of some of our favorite stories and recipes from Black authors to celebrate Black History Month. You can find them here.
