Eating From The Garden brought together diverse women of color from all walks of life who expressed a commitment to growing their personal toolkit for healing. Attendees received tips on how to:
 

• Till our soil

• Intentionally plant seeds​​

• Explore self-care on a budget

• Water our garden

• Strategically plan for our personal lives

• Appropriately use prescribed fire

 

The seeds that were planted over the last two days are too many to count or list here. Just know, the Sertoma Building at North Park became a garden, a church house, a ceremonial ground, and a safe space.
