A set of cookies depicting the beauty and range of Black women’s hair caught viral attention on social media as the gorgeous and soothing decorating videos were posted just after Black History Month to TikTok and Instagram. Now, the woman behind the creations is speaking out about her work and the impact of it, hoping that it encourages people to dive into anti-racist work in creative ways.

Grace Gaylord tells Yahoo Life that she picked up royal icing for the first time 10 years ago before discovering how much she enjoyed decorating cookies. Her true passion in it all, though, is not the selling of the treats, but of using them for content creation and education for fellow decorators.
