From @shalamonroque ’Self portraits for @トーム. If I have to write this story it would be a long one. It would be about seeds. It would be about sweat. It would be about injustice. It would be about love. And so where do we begin. To attempt to make chocolate truly a luxury product in a small village like mine so mountainous, so rich with resource yet stripped so bare by “independence”. Slavery is a heavy word. A heavy heavy word. And it’s legacy is still new as morning dew. Never mind what anyone may say. These beans, these cocoa beans harvested by one man’s passion, fermented and donated by him who has the dream of creating a bar. Him who has no fermenting box who did it to perfection with banana leaves and a plastic wash basin. Who toasted it by scent more than temperature.... we have the land. We have the trees. We have the beans. We have the knowledge. Because our ancestors toiled to own this and pass it down by the skin of their teeth. Against all odds. In small villages like this, and much the same throughout the Caribbean and in Africa it is even worse as most African children working in cocoa fields have never tasted chocolate (imagine that). we are locked out of the resource to buy the very expensive machinery to make chocolate and other cocoa products. Most small communities are burdened still so heavily by the offspring of colonialism. I tell you the story is long. And I stand where I stand today being all the places I’ve been, because of that history. For me to do something about it, well again it is a very very long and often tiring story.’ #everywoman
