In this episode of Island Money 365, I sit down with Sasha Allen Walton, Hartford native, Gullah Geechee descendant, and founder of Sasha’s Whole Earth, to explore how ancestral wisdom, spiritual practices, and plant medicine come together in her work as a healer, storyteller, and culture keeper.


We talk about:

🌿 What it means to be Gullah Geechee and why cultural preservation matters

🍵 How Sasha’s healing journey led to her powerful tea and herbal blends

📰 Her leadership of Northend Agent’s, Connecticut’s longest-running Black-owned newspaper

🔮 Misconceptions about Hoodoo and the sacred responsibility of land stewardship

🖤 Creating spaces where Black and BIPOC people feel seen, held, and healed


Whether you're curious about herbal medicine, decolonizing wellness, or the power of media to uplift communities, this episode is full of grounding insight, love, and legacy.
