Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I posted, I have been going through a lot of growth.
Most recently, I moved back home to the Caribbean in August and dove deeper into my ancestral medicine. I have spent most of the last few months in the ‘bush’ (in nature) integrating the herbal medicine of my people.
It’s felt soooo good to reconnect in this way. Now, I am ready to share this with you!
We are kicking things off with moringa, an amazing superfood.
In this video I share the health benefits of the plant and a special recipe with you!
Happy viewing 🙂
