Seasoned by Memory, Stirred by Survival
Secure your jar of the Juneteenth Jawn here
Before it was a spice blend, before it was a name — Juneteenth Jawn was a feeling.
It was the taste of collards kissed by pepper and smoke, the crackle of fish frying on a summer porch, the laughter that carries across a kitchen crowded with cousins. It was the way our people — across generations and geographies — have always found a way to gather, feast, and claim joy, even when the world tried to deny it.
Juneteenth Jawn represents many things, but at its core, it is an intimate tribute to Black life, creativity, and survival across America.
Juneteenth Jawn is a tribute to all of the above.

It’s a small, but mighty offering — crafted from the flavors and histories that raised us. Anchored in Galveston’s sandy soil, where freedom’s delayed promise was finally declared. Seasoned by kitchens of West and North Philly, where food has always been a language of survival and love. Infused with the stubborn hope of Detroit, and the radical imagination of Oakland’s streets.
We didn’t just make a spice blend.
We alchemized memory, migration, and a little bit of everyday magic.
Because food has always been more than nourishment for us. It’s how we remember.
How we pass down the unsaid. How we practice freedom at the table, long before it’s realized in the world.
In a time when the world feels heavier by the day, we hold fast to what our people have always known:
We survive by gathering.
We heal by flavoring life, even in the midst of struggle.
We move forward by rooting deeper into one another.
When you open a jar of Juneteenth Jawn, you’re not just seasoning your plate.
You’re carrying forward a legacy — of Black creativity, of communal care, of refusal and reinvention. It’s freedom as a practice, not a proclamation.
