Black in the Garden

Issa Throwback! We bringing back this episode to celebrate Black Botanists Week 2021.

Join us on Part 1 of 2  for a discussion on George Washington Carver! We're not here for the peanut lessons you learned in school either. Colah B Tawkin has a convo with modern day Botanical Brotha and crazy botanist, Derek. We get rap with Derek and come to learn a bit about Carver's influence on him because representation matters. Part 1 of our conversation gets into Carver's 'straight out of a Toni Morrison novel' origin story, how G. Dubb C saved the economy of the south and you guessed it: academic discriminatory shade.  To be continued...

Episode 2 of Season 4 kicks off with a new segment with the ‘chirren’ and The Chocolate botanist Derek Haynes. Our guest is media legend Ananda Lewis!
Ananda was excited to be on Black  in the Garden because of the 1000+ interviews she’s participated in she had never had a conversation about her relationship with plants. Colah and Ananda discussed how plants helped her survive cancer, how plants helped her bond with her Grandma June and a nasty vice she unconventionally overcame.
