Words, Writers, Southwest Stories, May 2025 edition @ online
May 8 @ 6:00 pm

Join Mama Lil’ Peppers Founder, Howard Lev, and Seattle Times Now & Then Columnist, Jean Sherrard, for a spicy take on starting a small business.

Lev will share his rollicking tale of failure and — ultimately — success as he built his pepper business, wedding his mother’s family recipe to the Hungarian Goat-horn peppers of Yakima Valley. Lev and Sherrard will share videos, discuss Lev’s book, and even prepare snacks with his famous Mama’s Lil’ Peppers.

Howard Lev is the founder of Mama’s Lil’ Peppers and author of A Pepper for Your Thoughts: How Not to Start a Gourmet Food Business, published by Seattle’s Chin Music Press this year.

Jean Sherrard is a columnist for Seattle Times Now & Then, photographer, and writer.

Admiral Church presents The Idolatry of Whiteness

“Whiteness is not a racial category, it’s a political one.” – David Billings

Six consecutive Sundays beginning May 4th, Noon-1:15 PM at 4320 SW Hill St
Register at www.admiral.church

The United States of America was both designed to be a place where we collectively recognize that “all [humans] are created equal”, and a place where that equality was originally limited only to White men in ownership caste. As the United States has expanded its definition of human, Whiteness has continued to be an issue, one our society has yet to fully grapple with. In this 6 week course, we will read from great 20th- and 21st-century thinkers about how they have come to understand the power of Whiteness and what can be done to dismantle it in the name of “liberty and justice for all.”

Suggested $20 donation covers printed material and honarium for our guest lecturer and presenter, Black American history scholar AJ Musewe
