"The Urban Soul Farmer"

Urban Soul Farmer is my Pseudonym for the health conscious farmer in me. I was raised in the city but my parents were raised in the "country" where growing food was a lifestyle. I use the knowledge of my ancestors and mix it with a city version for smaller spaces. On this site I share the constant transformation of my urban garden in Los Angeles. I also post pics of other gardeners that inspire me to experiment with growing edibles. I love to make smoothies and enjoy finding recipes to share. I would like to host urban garden workshops in my backyard in the near future. Most importantly, I am an advocate for better health for people of color. The Urban Soul Farmer upholds a lifestyle and works as a vessel towards better health and sustainable living.

Without calculation, I took the time to pamper myself through gardening, writing, meditation, and self love. The true test and personal journey was using my inner guide to keep me grounded, aware and secure about my choices and who I have become. I have come...

The Dalai Lama tells us to stop expecting life to be easy. Life is full of suffering and is ultimately unsatisfying; The only way to be happy is to train your mind to want less and to train your mind to penetrate the ultimate reality. I am rolling into the year with new hope and ideas. I have been invited to be one of the inspirational speakers at the L.A. Union Workers, "Womens Month Program." I am excited and nervous, but it feels good to be part of a great cause. My dreams have been vivid and seem to be telling me stories of my past. I've been writing like maddd. I feel the birth of a new poem! I've also been invited on a poetry performance tour at the end of the year. I'll have to string you along before I tell you my biggest project of the year. So stay connected. Indubitably, Indigo Lounge is going to be delightful on February 7th. The line up is SSicK! Join us for love and Black History Month. Get in contact with me if you would like to perform. We do th...
