Nayara Justino thought her dreams had come true when she was selected as the Globeleza carnival queen in 2013. But some in Brazil regarded her complexion to be too dark to be an acceptable queen

Daily Proverb

“When they go low, we go high.” Michelle Obama

Last year, I venture into growing cowpeas (black-Eyed Peas)in the garden. I grew three different varieties. For 31 years, I only knew these peas as a dried bean that you had to boil for hours prior to eating. When I ate my first pea right off of the pod I was amazed! They were sweet, soft, and creamy. This year, I’ve transitioned to growing only Purple Hull Peas. They are cowpeas that hull turns purple when ready and the peans have a purple eye. Can’t wait to eat these with some grits and greens! #urbanfarming #farmingisfreedom #goodmorning #independenceday #fourth #garden #growninpgc #princegeorgesproud #food #communitygarden
In commemoration of Juneteenth (June 19th) the day when the “last” enslaved people in Galveston, Texas received word that General Robert Lee had surrendered, and they were free. This playlist is a collection of some of my favorite songs that explore concepts of black liberation, history, and futurism. Enjoy your freedom. Link bio Image: Mr. D. N.

Checkout my interview with the incredible, 21st century griot and #EdibleActivist @foodtalksncolor — we talk about my family’s history in Prince George’s County, @CottageCityGarden, and my vision to merge agriculture, art, and black cultural heritage into a new planning model for communities.

#repost @growwhereyouare ・・・ Consider the state of the farms in the midwest & the massive disease of factory farmed pigs currently in China and neighboring countries. How do you see these events effecting our food system and economy? Have you taken a moment to think about how these bodies will be disposed of? How will fresh fruits and vegetable crops propogate as the insect populations decline? Our veganic mini farms have rich biodiversity of edible plants and flowering herbs @thirdmoonbotanica to encourage pollinators and insect habitats. What you are doing to encourage soil and habitat health as these global events roll out? Please share here. #farmingwhileblack @blackfarmersmatter #agriculture #farm

Now that classes are over for the semester I’ve been able to get back into reading and podcasting for leisure. Just listened to the Land Liberation episode of the Edible Activist with @foodtalksncolor and @domxpascal. You should def take a listen if you’re interested in rethinking about your connection with the land and earth, and how you fit in this particular space.
How many strawberries do you think I’ve eaten over the last week in the @cottagecitygarden? #urbanagriculture #growninpgc #princegeorges #food #urbanfarming #communitygarden #food #gardensofinstagram #goodmorning
