On Episode 9 Colah B Tawkin celebrates 1000 followers on the gram  and looks forward to making a lasting impact for the culture of black plant keepers. The Kwanzaa principle of self determination, Kujichagulia is the word to live by that may or may not be pronounced correctly and that's aight!   We're welcomed into The Urban Academic's (aka Dr. Hayley) garden of wisdom.  The Urban Academic is a Dr. of Public Health who's read 'all of them books!' She shares wisdom she learned from her dad as a young gardener, encourages us of to see the value in urban food forests and waxes on black sustainability practices (including leftovers in the whipped cream tub). Dr. Hayley breaks down the differences in home and 'un'schooling and helps us understand how we can use the garden as an organic classroom  as well as unschool our black children regardless of the chosen institution.  Colah has so many Aha moments she had to invite The Urban Academic back for an episode in the spring to drop some more gardening gems on us.  . .

On Episode 8 Colah B Tawkin shouts out our non binary peeps and insists we embrace Kwanzaa365. We tap dance on politics and climate change as opposed to being politically neutral. Colah charges wildfires and global decay to white supremacy then encourages us to seek refuge in plants! Giveaway winners are announced! Brittany aka @Blackgirlgreenworld joins us on the pod to get planty with us. We start with her transition from long time beauty blogger @clumpsofmascara  to the plant lady we've come to cherish who still be fightin anxiety attacks and keeping it quite 100. Colah and Brittany recall their warm(hey FL hey) and mostly fuzzy memory of that one time in Orlando when literal Black Girl Magic (shout out to CaShawn!) brought them together pre-plants also pre-IG. A high key #Floridagardenersbelike bragging session ensues and Colah can't take it. Brittany shares her early bird self care/plant routine, succulents as unexpected divas, how to shop in your neighbor's yard for plants (again with the FL bragging) and so much more including how she was plant blind as a child. They discover is a mutual distaste for alocasia sanderiana and missed HBCU experience as FAMU Rattlers. Gems are dropped by the dozen and we all should appreciate how important it is to Stay #plantwoke! . . .
