Today, we honor and celebrate Juneteenth — a day that marks freedom, resilience, and the continued pursuit of equality.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As we celebrate this important day in our nation's history, we reflect on the progress that has been made, recognize the work that remains, and honor the contributions, achievements, and rich cultural heritage of the Black community.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth filled with reflection, education, celebration, and unity.

We are full of all sorts of exciting news these days! Not only have we changed our hours to open earlier (Mon-Fri, 7:30 AM- 2:30 PM), we’ve added a breakfast sandwich to the menu. It’s our herb artisan bread, spread with a layer of avocado oil mayo, topped with cheddar cheese, two freshly prepared eggs, and then pressed in our panini machine. 👌. Pair this with one of our lattes and your Monday morning will be rockin’! We’d love to have you in! 🥂

I've long considered baked potatoes to be one of my favorite comfort foods, but unlike other comforts, like macaroni and cheese or a fried chicken dinner, it doesn't require a ton of ingredients and labor. In fact, in its most simple form, it's incredibly easy to prepare and enjoy.

In 1975, two researchers at UC Santa Barbara decided to stop guessing and start recording.
They sat in on 31 ordinary conversations between men and women. They counted every single interruption.
Out of 48 interruptions — 47 came from men.
They published the findings. Nobody changed the meetings.
So forty years later, a linguist named Kieran Snyder started counting again. For weeks, she logged every interruption in every professional meeting she attended. Men interrupted three times more often than women. When men interrupted, they chose women as their target nearly three times as often as they chose other men.
She published it too.
Still, the meetings continued.
By 2017, researchers at Northwestern Law School had grown curious about a different room — one where surely the pattern wouldn't hold. They pulled twenty years of transcripts from United States Supreme Court oral arguments. They counted. Male justices interrupted female justices roughly three times as often as they interrupted each other.
Sonia Sotomayor. On the highest court in the country. Same invisible pattern as a first-year employee at a Monday morning sales meeting.
Here is what the numbers can't fully capture.
An interruption isn't just bad manners. It is a quiet edit — a signal sent to everyone in the room about whose words are still arriving and whose have already been dismissed. One interruption is a moment. A hundred interruptions across a career quietly builds a record: who got the airtime, who got credited, who got called "sharp" and who got called "a lot."
Performance reviews get written from those impressions.
Promotions get written from those reviews.
McKinsey and LeanIn.org have tracked workplace advancement for over a decade. Women fall behind men at the very first step — the jump from entry level to manager — at a rate that nothing later in a career fully repairs. When a man and woman contribute equally to the same project, observers consistently remember the man as the one who drove it. When that same project fails, they remember the woman.
The work was identical. The memory was not.
And almost none of it is deliberate.
Boys interrupt girls more often at age four. Teachers interrupt girls more than boys in classrooms. By the time anyone sits down at a conference table, the script has been quietly rehearsed across twenty years of small moments nobody thought to question. The pattern doesn't require intention. It only requires everyone to keep performing it without noticing.
We look at who leads, who presents, who gets named in the announcement — and we call it talent. We say he is just more confident. We say she is harder to read. And then we hand the outcome to the person we shaped across a thousand unexamined moments and call the whole thing a meritocracy.
What the research shows changes things is not a louder voice.
It is the room.
When women make up 60 to 80 percent of a group, the interruption pattern disappears. When organizations begin tracking meeting talk time as a real metric, behavior shifts within months. When a chair simply says "let her finish" — she finishes. The room remembers what she said. It gets written down. It gets credited.
The fix was never in her voice.
It was in whether the room had been trained to hear her.
She said it first. She has always said it first.
The only question was whether anyone was paying attention.
