Through urban farming, Nancy empowers people to advocate for food sovereignty, organic urban agriculture, public green spaces, and equitable, sustainable and regional food systems. Currently, she serves as a Farm Facilitator at a community garden in South Central LA. Nancy is also part of an herbalist collective that creates critical dialogue around self-preservation, decolonizes wellness and self-care, imagines what community care could look like and politicizes healing as liberation. When she is not slaying the patriarchy, you can find Nancy reading up on queer ecology and tending to her medicinal garden!
