Boiled Eggs with a Side of Breakdown: My Paleo Diary
It’s 8 AM. My boyfriend has already left for work and the alarm on my iPhone is going off. All I want to do is snooze and complain, but if I wake up now I will have slightly less than the perfect number of minutes to multitask all the things I need to do to get to work on time, or a only little late. So I wake up: I toss on my robe and go into the bathroom to wash my face with a gentle cleanser, but not brush my teeth.
I arrive in the kitchen and grab a random assortment of fruits and vegetables that kind of make sense together: at least two different dark leafy greens, a banana, a fruit that isn’t a banana, another type of vegetable, coconut milk, and citrus, to lift the flavors. I get all those things going in the Vitamix, pour it into a glass, put a metal straw in it, and stick it in the fridge. I wash the Vitamix in the sink and put it back on the stand. Now I’m ready to scoop some coconut oil into my mouth and swish it around for 15 minutes while I shower, to whiten my teeth and “extract toxins.” I spit it out. I brush my teeth, put my robe back on, go back into the kitchen to get my smoothie, and drink it through the metal straw. While I cook some bacon in a cast-iron pan, I make a disgusting lunch because I’m running out of time: some boiled eggs that I managed to make yesterday morning, a sweet potato that I roasted earlier in the week, some chia-seed pudding if I had the foresight to put some crap in a jar the night before. Maybe some sardines, the beef jerky of fish.
I wrote about going paleo for Broadly. You can read the rest here.

The Women Making the Weed Industry Less White
“The cannabis industry is an emerging industry, but it’s a microcosm of America. There’s not a lot of people of color represented in a lot of industries, let alone women of color. You’re starting to see more of us come along, but we have an uphill battle. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve faced law enforcement. I feel like I have a right to be in this industry just because of that; I have more stripes than a tiger.”
