Farming and gardening has been my family’s way of life on both my mother and father’s side. So I shouldn’t be surprised that after many years of college and specialized training in everything but agriculture, I ended up setting roots down at a farm. Urban Tilth has brought me back to me. And the North Richmond community has welcomed me with open arms. I am continuously fascinated with and inspired by the history of this city and its people. There is a sense of solidarity here that is bursting at the seams with love, aid, and optimism. I feel honored to work in North Richmond and to do my part to help ensure that we see the people of this community thriving again.
