Ben & Jerry’s Releases ‘Change is Brewing’ Flavor With Activism Flair

Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s has unveiled a new activist-oriented flavor called Change Is Brewing with the help of multidisciplinary artist and creative director, Laci Jordan, who designed the container art. Proceeds from the sale of the flavor will partly support Representative Cori Bush‘s The People’s Response Act, which seeks to replace law enforcement with social workers in specific incidents.

Jordan, an Los Angeles-based artist, revealed in an interview with Ben & Jerry’s that the ice cream giant reached out to her for her artistic expertise. “They emailed me, and I was shook because I don’t know, a lot of great things have come across my plate over the years.” She confirmed that she immediately agreed to work with the brand because of what it stands for. “There aren’t a lot of companies at all that are really truly taking a stand and saying things and following it up with action.”

Although the 31-year-old artist doesn’t consider herself an art activist, she does believe her art reflects the times. “I think my art does that, whether it’s something that is rooted in activism, whether it’s something that’s just rooted in existing as a Black woman,” she explains. “Whether it is something that I’m seeing in pop culture, it all reflects what I’m seeing in my everyday life. Since I am a Black woman and I care, I can’t help but create art that is rooted in activism, but for the record, I’m not Laci Luther King!”

Described as “coffee ice cream with marshmallow swirls and fudge, the ice cream’s ingredients were sourced from two Black-owned businesses; BLK & Bold, a nationally distributed coffee company, and Greyston Bakery, a longtime partner of Ben & Jerry’s.

As part of its ongoing efforts to champion racial justice, Ben & Jerry’s is among more than 70 different organizations supporting The People’s Response Act. 

The Change is Brewing ice cream is now available in select retail stores across the United States.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.
