About this episode
On Episode 2 of season 2 Colah is celebrating World Nekkid Gardening Day (just take her word for it) and encouraging us to use our gifts for good! We're joined by our podcousin, Christin Riddick, host of the Afro Beets podcast. Chris is a D.C. native who started gardening as a service project that turned into a personal challenge and transition to a plant based lifestyle. We discuss how Chris was influenced by Botanical Brotha, Ron Finley (aka the Gangsta Gardener) as a testament to how representation matters.
We learn how Afro Beets Podcast aims to bridge communities like planty creatives and foodie creatives and MORE. Colah and Chris get hype about relevant titles from black authors like Michael Twitty and Leah Penniman in consideration of a Black in the Garden book club. At the end of the day, we hope you at least remember to massage and marinate your kale!
