Ava DuVernay Makes History As The First Black Woman On A Ben & Jerry's Pint
Omg. Sounds delicious!!!
“Directed” and personally curated by DuVernay, the ice cream flavor features a mix of vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls and gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough.
Available in both milk-based and non-dairy versions, the pints will begin shipping across the country next month.

I can't imagine why they'd go with her of all black women to be the first.
If you include the ones I don't like, I can name 20 black women for whom a Ben & Jerry's pint should be developed before this woman.

I wanted Roxane Gay to win this distinction.

Never heard of her. Don't care for the flavor combination, but I'm not the target demographic.

If you could make a Ben & Jerry's flavor what would you include.
Mmmmm...maple ice cream, bacon, fudge swirls, snickerdoodle cookie.

Is that really Historical? Have there been decades of white people trotted out on Ben and Jerry's Pints that we FINALLY have the first Black Woman. I think this would have been more affective if they just said nothing and put her on there. I mean it's not like black people have been just been waiting for the chance but have been held back.

Isn’t this insulting? Being on an ice cream container is such an honor for black women that the first incident needs to be publicized as “first black woman…”

It should have been me. My marriage was the most important single think that happened to South Africa since Nelson Mandela was released.

Ava DuVernay is more accurately the first non-late night talk show host on a Ben & Jerry's pint!
(I'm not counting Ben & Jerry themselves)

Ben and Jerry's is shit ice cream. I would eat a ton of brands before them. Godiva and Talenti are much better.

They lost me when they added cookie dough (sugar globs) to the mix.

Why didn't they make a sorbet or something fruity? It could have been called "A wrinkle in lime" I guess that movie is better forgotten though.
