Who remembers Aunt Jemima syrup?

Make sure your children know this!

The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demnstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star 💫💫.

She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extrmely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. 🤶This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period.

NANCY GREEN // STORYTELLER

“She was a storyteller, cook, activist and one of the first African American models hired to promote a corporate trademark as “Aunt Jemima”. She used her financial freedom to become an activist and engage in anti poverty programs.”

Le marquage du sirop était un hommage aux dons et aux talents de cette femme. Désormais, les générations futures ne sauront même pas que cette belle femme noire a existé. Le monde la connaissait sous le nom de « Tante Jemima », mais son prénom était Nancy Green et elle était une véritable success story américaine. Elle est née esclave en 1834 dans le comté de Montgomery, KY. et est devenue une riche superstar dans le monde de la publicité, en tant que première marque vivante. Green avait 56 ans lorsqu'elle a été choisie comme porte-parole d'une nouvelle farine à crêpes prête à l'emploi et auto-levante et a fait ses débuts en 1893 lors d'une foire et d'une exposition à Chicago. Elle a fait une démonstration du mélange à crêpes et a servi des milliers de crêpes, et est immédiatement devenue une star. Elle était une bonne conteuse, sa personnalité était chaleureuse et attrayante et son sens du spectacle était exceptionnel. Son stand d'exposition a attiré tellement de monde qu'un personnel de sécurité spécial a été affecté pour maintenir la foule en mouvement. Nancy Green a signé un contrat à vie, a effectué des tournées promotionnelles dans tout le pays et a été extrêmement bien payée. Sa liberté financière et sa stature de porte-parole nationale lui ont permis de devenir l'une des principales défenseures de la pauvreté et de l'égalité des droits pour tous les Américains. Elle a conservé son emploi jusqu'à sa mort en 1923, à l'âge de 89 ans. C'était une femme remarquable et, malheureusement, elle a été effacée par la politique.

A remarkable woman erased from history by ignorance. 

The syrup brand was created as a tribute to her talents and contributions. Now, future generations may never learn about this extraordinary woman. What a tragedy. Known to the world as "Aunt Jemima," her real name was Nancy Green—a true American success story. 

Born a slave in 1834 in Montgomery County, Kentucky, Nancy rose to prominence as a trailblazer in the advertising industry, becoming the first living trademark. At the age of 56, she was chosen as the face of a new ready-to-mix pancake flour and debuted at the 1893 Chicago fair. There, she captivated audiences by demonstrating the product and serving thousands of pancakes, instantly becoming a sensation. 

Nancy was a masterful storyteller with a warm, charismatic presence and a flair for performance. Her booth attracted such massive crowds that special security had to be assigned to manage the flow of people. 

She signed a lifetime contract, earning a substantial income, and traveled nationwide on promotional tours. Her financial independence and public platform allowed her to become a vocal advocate for combating poverty and promoting equal rights for all Americans. 

Nancy held her position until her death in 1923 at the age of 89. She was an exceptional woman whose legacy has been unjustly diminished by modern politics. In an era of cancel culture, her story deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

June 2024: The First Half Of The Last Week

Monday's harvest:

My Queen: We have cucumbers coming out the ying yang.

Me: I yi, yi yi yi!

We had a load in the truck so I had to keep guard while my queen went into Sprouts. Luckily, a train went by & added some fun:

Composting pancake & waffle mixes that went past their expiration dates:

We finally got some Bells-of-Ireland to come up from seed:

Tuesday dinner - barbecued chicken wings & legs:

Wednesday's harvest. Those two small tomatoes are from a volunteer tomato plant growing in an ornamental bed so I'm not sure if it is a nutrition starved Juliet tomato or a Juliet-Tomato X hybrid:

Wednesday dinner - Jerked shrimp, green beans, mango salsa & basmati rice:
