Your mood begs for Limonene.
Your work schedule calls for a new job.

Ride the wave of the future but be prepared for some notable differences in your approach to life… My uncle’s reaction to his first Waymo experience was priceless
But seriously...
🚘 What does a world with driverless cars REALLY look like?
🤔Will this technology create more opportunities or leave people behind?
🧠How do we make sure progress benefits everyone?

I ❤️🥬 🎣 🐓 > any ex I’ve ever had.
But hey guess what, I’ve found… my long lost love. Food justice featuring catfish nuggets in the air fryer.
Turns out fighting systemic barriers for the masses who don’t have access to nutritious food using fish, plants and nature… WAY more fun than therapy. (Do not tell my therapist)
This is where the empowered roots collective starts—
HERES MY DEAL…
I used to balance my divorce drama and therapy sessions like a drunk flamingo… it was bad. It was awkward. And very loud.
Now, I’m juggling plants and fish nutrients like a pro… because well… why not? 🤷🏽♀️
It may have been hard to talk to someone about feelings, and it may have been super awkward to assert your boundaries or voice your opinions on social justice with someone you love…
But guess what?
It was also fierce AF.
All of this information about growing a plant from a seed taught me something about building a community, fighting against the way things have always been done to do what’s never been done before…
The empowered roots collective…We’re growing social justice like it’s nobody business and it turns out…
🧠neurodiversity?
✊🏾melanin?
🤯life obstacles?
All super powers!!!!
Harness one of them if you’ve got em… so that you feel the way I did when I conquered all of my fears to fight food injustice and build the damn utopia we deserve in the desert and across the globe. 🏜️🌐
So IF… or WHEN you’re tired of feeling like a lone jalapeño in a bland salad… tap in.
Yes… there will eventually be workshops.
But for now you’ll get memes and enough spicy wisdom to make an enchilada jealous.
We blossom. We bloom. It’s beautiful.

Nurturing my clover lawn is a testament to the resilience I’ve found in self-care and how it doesn’t have to seem selfish.
If you’re strong like me, connecting with your inner strength as a black & indigenous femme presenting woman… I find solace being rooted in traditions of planting and tending and harvesting.
