Let My People Eat | Seasonal Position Announcement 

George Washington Carver

It is no secret that I'm a big fan of George Washington Carver. It seems that black history month every year is just an opportunity for me to honor this man who did amazing things for our food systems and completely changed agriculture as we know it. Not only did he save the a collapsing agriculture system but he was also a hell of a scientist coming up with over 400 inventions using vegetables. And those are just a couple of his contributions. Despite his accomplishments many people just know him as the peanut man or the guy who invented peanut butter. By why is this a thing? Where did this myth come from? And why is it wrong? It's bothering the hell out of me to be honest, so lets get into it... Want to continue the conversation on this week's episode and see the video?

In this episode, I look back at the inaugural podcast segment Soul Food Sunday. A segment where I interview a guest from the African Diaspora and talk food. To me true soul food is a dish with a story and culture. My guess Cat and I talk about the brief history of the different Cape Verde islands, growing up in America racially ambiguous and how Cape Verdians throw down in the kitchen during celebrations.  Rate,  Review and Share Like this show?

19: Cape Verde Dinner Table (feat. cattsmeowww)

In this week's episode, we go over the things you need to think about before you sow your first seed of the spring during times of a pandemic. There's a crisis going on, and it may have taken us by surprise. But now is not the time to sit and reflect on what we didn't do. Now more than ever we have the time to set up our home growing systems that will provide value to ourselves and the community around us. Do you have what it takes to build a garden sanctuary among the chaos?  Rate,  Review, and Share Like this show? Please leave a rating and review on iTunes.

6: Nourishing Your Spiritual Awakening (feat. Kid and Fro)

In this week's episode,  I sit down with Jasmine and Michael of The African Diaspora Alliance (ADA). ADA holistically connects descendants of Africa to the global African community through their international excursions, youth programs and workshops. In a world where we as a people are oppressed and killed based on our mere existence, it is more important now than ever to connect to our brothers and sisters of the diaspora. After really exploring where our roots and foundation really comes from, I think you'll be surprised to learn we are not as different as we appear. Rate,  Review, and Share Like this show?

21: I Want to be Black as Hell (feat. The African Diaspora Alliance)

Vegan relationships can be tough. It’s one thing when your parents and friends make rabbit jokes but what happens when it’s your significant other? Take a listen to this raw exchange I had with Felicia aka By Felicia from YouTube. Make sure to check out her podcast The Vegan Inquisition for amazing content like this episode on the woes of being a black vegan. The audio is a little rough, so I apologize ahead of time.

2: Fresh Aesthetic Podcast Interview (feat. Afro Beets) 

In this week's episode, we discuss how to replace meat without relying on processed meat substitutes. With the surge of new "fake" meats hitting the market we need to take a step back and connect to the land with what we know to be true. Regardless of what you eat, plants are the foundation for a healthy and nutritious human experience.  Getting creative with vegetables really does change our food landscape for the better, and creates a new standard for what good food is.
