  3. Word so: between 1-5% of you all watching on instagram actually read my work. This means the VAST majority of you all like me because of the way I make you FEEL. Of course you do; I’m Beautiful, well-articulated, balanced, and speaking to bits of our regular world that you couldn’t manage to make sense of until I said it. I’m exactly what charismatic Black race champions have looked like in the past. You are pre-conditioned to like me. That conditioning, in and of itself, is above me. It’s just that, in terms of short-form media, I watched myself become someone who shared their thoughts online to someone who is more of a symbol than a person. I write to state clearly: I never set out to become a symbol. I set out to improve the material conditions for myself and the life of my family. Once you all scroll on, I have to walk around with this face and this voice and this public record all the time. While you get to have your weekly dose of optimism, I actually have to contend with the danger all this comes with. Further, I have always claimed to be a *strategist.* I am not a moral entity; I am not a walking work of public good. I have only ever seen social media as a means to an end. So when I knew that capture was coming and I, 100% in my right mind, intentionally chose to break the rules of sanity in public to indicate that I am in danger… I think I lost about ten thousand followers. I had people trying to clinically diagnose me in the comments. I don’t find any of that surprising! I, ME, ISMATU: *I* am very aware that the vast majority (at least 95% of you) use me as an entertaining, revolutionary fantasy. Are you aware enough to admit that to yourself? You use me to cosplay learning— because learning happens by doing! In terms of instagram, you’re only ever watching ME learn. 95% of you, *at minimum,* see me and use me to emotionally regulate, to find hope in a collective you only passively witness. You take my pretty, branded optimism as proof that *you* care. Meaning that: the moment I no longer performed Beautiful, bite- sanity and hope embodied in the ways you’ve come to expect, you recoiled. On God, it was a joy to disappoint you.

  2. Dominican Beef Stew 🇩🇴💌 Ingredients For the Beef Marinade: • 2 lbs beef stew meat (chuck or top round, cut into chunks) • 1 lime (to wash the beef) • 1 tsp adobo • 1 tsp black pepper • 1 tsp garlic paste • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1 tsp oregano • 1 tsp Maggi seasoning sauce or soy sauce • 1/2 Maggi cube • 2-3 tbsp sofrito • Hot Sauce (optional) For the Stew: • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 tsp sugar (for caramelizing) • 2 cups water • 2-3 tbsp tomato paste • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced • 1/2 green pepper, sliced • 1/2 yellow pepper, sliced • 2 small carrots, peeled and sliced • 6-8 petite potatoes, cut into small pieces • Handful of fresh cilantro (for garnish) Season to taste; use more or less of the ingredients as needed. (I like to toss in a small piece of beef jumbo cube if it needs a little extra flavor.) ⸻ Instructions Step 1: Wash the beef chunks with lime, rinse, and pat dry. In a large bowl, season the beef with all the marinade ingredients. Mix well, cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, for deeper flavor. Step 2: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar and let it caramelize until golden brown. Add the marinated beef chunks to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Step 3: Pour 2 cups of water into the pot (using the same bowl the beef was marinated in to scrape up extra seasoning). Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover and let the beef cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Step 4: After the beef has cooked for a bit, stir in the tomato paste until fully combined. Then, add the sliced onions, peppers, carrots, petite potatoes, and fresh cilantro. Stir well, cover, and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the stew simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Step 5: Serve hot with white rice, sweet plantains, and avocado slices. ❤️

Pupusas 🇸🇻 Recipe Ingredients: Curtido- 1 cabbage, thinly sliced 3 cup hot water 2-3 jalapeños 3 carrots, shredded 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 cup hot water 2 tbsp dried oregano (I really like oregano, you can use less than this) Salt to taste Process: In a very large bowl add your thinly sliced and clean cabbage, add hot water and allow to sit 5 minutes, drain this water To your drained cabbage add thinly sliced jalapeños, shredded carrots, and thinly sliced red onion Add vinegar, hot water, oregano, and salt Mix and cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest overnight (or a few hours) Salsa Ingredients: 4-5 large roma tomatoes 1/4 white onion 4 chiles de árbol 1 tbsp oregano Salt to taste 3 tbsp oil Process: Add water to a pot and add in tomatoes, onion, and chiles de árbol Boil 10 minutes Allow to cool, remove and discard skins from tomatoes Blend tomatoes along with onion, chiles, oregano, and salt Add oil to a pan and set to medium high heat Once oil is hot add in salsa and stir Allow to simmer 3-4 minutes, taste for salt and turn off heat, salsa is ready! Pupusa Masa Ingredients: 3 cups Maseca flour 1 cup Pan flour 4 1/2 cups hot water (more or less, masa should be very smooth) 1 tsp salt 1/3 cup Oil (for hands so that the masa doesn’t stick while forming our pupusas) Process: In a large bowl, add in your Maseca, Pan, salt, and 3 cups of water Begin kneading the masa, at least 6 minutes of strong kneading (I put two songs on and measured my time that way) If your masa is not smooth and soft add in the addition cup of water, the masa should have no lumps and should not stick to your fingers Once ready dip your fingers in oil or water and coat your hands so that the masa will not stick, grab masa, about 3-4 tbsp in size and roll into a ball, using your thumb create a dip in the middle and add your filling of choice, I used beans and cheese, pinch your pupusa shut and remove any excess masa Flatten the pupusas by slapping it between your palms until even and your desired size is reached Place your pupusas on a hot comal and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side Enjoy your yummy pupusas!
