Helping Communities Reclaim Food, Health, and Environment through Community Food Education, Wellness, and Traditional Foodways

I can get every kind of fried chicken there is...I can get every variety of cigarettes in those bodegas...If I wanted to drink, I could get every variety of malt liquor...I can get a semi-automatic in my neighborhood...I can get heroin in my neighborhood...I can get cocaine in my neighborhood. But I can not get an organic tomato unless I grow it myself.
~ LaDonna Redmond, Food Justice Activist

We are passing on to our children a legacy of food-related illnesses and other health disparities that are a result of policies that make it easier for low quality food to be sold in our neighborhoods, mixed media messages about food and health, and our own unhealthy relationship with food. Let us reclaim our heritage by returning to a lifestyle that connects us to the land, to food, and to each other.

I work with residents and community based organizations in Bedford-Stuyvesant and beyond to address issues of food security, health, and cooking through workshops, tours, newsletters, and other opportunities that empower communities to create lifestyles of health and sustainability. I specialize in seasonal, plant-based living with an emphasis on self-care and community-building around food and health.
