I was introduced to Young Farmers through my work with Sankofa Village Community Garden-Farm. Sankofa Village Community Garden’s (Pittsburgh, PA) ultimate goal is to eradicate the Food Apartheid that exists within our communities. We approach this through providing place-based education, exposure to entrepreneurship, and programs restoring the multi-generational relationships that have been an integral part of our families and the practice of Sankofa. With my background in public health and experience in food security programs and policies, I look to contribute to the Food Justice mission and empower community through a holistic lens.
