“
I am a young, black, woman whose life experiences weave together the interdisciplinary ways of working & healing with earth in full spectrum. The better part of my work experience has been agriculture but in the last 4 years I have come to possess knowledge in cannabis, farm education, permaculture, tropical agriculture, agroforestry, urban farming, floral arrangements and lastly the healing powers of the earth.
As a young girl in Brooklyn, I have always craved more nature in my life. However, as I grew up I never could seem to find any opportunities to be in nature and was lost as to how to find ways, as my family had been in the concrete jungle for generations. But 5 years ago my father murdered my mother and this was a shocking trauma which changed my life forever.
This grief resulted in spending time in silence. Towards the end of silence, I finally went outside with the intention of bringing more nature into my life. It was my time in silence that helped to realize that when I laid my mother’s body in the earth, the earth literally became my mother. This resulted in bringing home a $1000 worth of plants . . . and these plants became allies and from them I received clear ways to heal and grow. It was at this very moment that I found voice, my passion and my future. It was in that moment that I declared that I would not spend my life in an office setting, surrounded by 4 walls but instead immersed in nature as much as possible. It was then that I knew Momma Earth would always guide and support me.
My work is to guide communities near and far, especially low income and communities of color, to not just connect with earth but showcase pathways for careers working with the earth. My goal is to create an awareness that working with the earth can be a career path and provide healing for personal trauma simultaneously. I have chosen to share my life story with you as a testament to all, proving that the earth provides abundance.
