Sohla El-Waylly statement

sohlae 2h I know you've been wondering, so here we go: I've decided I won't be producing anymore videos for Bon Appetit. But don't worry, you'll still find me at BA developing fun recipes and stories. No hate to the editors who've decided to stay, it's just not the right thing for me. I'll see you all around!

Claire

I've spent the last few days searching for words to express to my friends and colleagues and also to BA viewers. I sought advice that I decided not to take and deleted drafts because, frankly, most of what white people say right now sounds trite and hollow. I don't want to repeat platitudes about "doing better" or "listening", not because the people who say them don't mean them, but because statements like this don't matter without sustained and meaningful action. The point of this post is not to perform an apology or save face; it's not about view counts or likes. Rather, it's about complicity and accountability. I am writing this not to or for fans, but to and for my colleagues of color.

Christina Chaey

I am one of a handful of non-white faces in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. Like Sohla El-Waylly, I have never received a single dollar for my video contributions. I have never received a merit raise or promotion for my work in almost three years of service. I'm starting to unpack why I've never felt empowered to ask for more. I'm also starting to reckon with my place in a brand that has upheld the toxic culture of white power in old media, including my complicity in a system that made me believe I should feel lucky that I got a seat at their table.

Bon Appetit Statement

We, the staffs of Bon Appétit and Epicurious, want to address our readers, contributors, and peers in light of Adam Rapoport's resignation as editor in chief. The deeply offensive photo circulating of Adam is horrific on its own, but also speaks to the much broader and longstanding impact of racism at these brands. We have been complicit with a culture we don't agree with and are committed to change. Our mastheads have been far too white for far too long. As a result, the recipes, stories, and people we've highlighted have too often come from a white-centric viewpoint.

Stepping Down

Iam stepping down as editor in chief of Bon Appétit to reflect on the work that I need to do as a human being and to allow Bon Appétit to get to a better place.
