The original Fresh & Fried Hard launched as a blog in 2019 though the concept and content was birthed in 2017. In 2024, life took over – bulldozed right over any plans to make changes – and the blog was moved to Substack. For now, it will stay there and this space will be used as a reader that includes some of the old posts from the original blog. And, it will have some newer, fresher content that shares uncommon facts about Black women + food + history for the common good.
