Social media loves to glamorize sourdough starters, herbal remedies, and the new-age tradwife aesthetic. But let’s be clear: Black and Brown communities have been growing, healing, and surviving through the land long before it became trendy. In this episode, India sits down with urban farmer and wellness advocate, Samira, to discuss reclaiming space, food access, and community.

Seeds we sow in this episode:

💋How land and wellness got separated from Black communities

💋Guerilla gardening, and how we can take back vacant land

💋Eating alone raises your blood pressure, literally

💋What to do if you’re kidnapped: Fight, flight, freeze, or a new one, fawn💋Reclaiming and redefining what was always ours: whole foods, community, and surviving off of soil

If wellness has ever felt too whitewashed, too expensive, or too curated to include you, this episode is your reminder that healing doesn’t have a look. It has a lineage. Let’s reclaim our health and wellness together. XOXO
