In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined in-person by the one and only Ellenie Cruz.

We traveled to New Orleans, my favorite city, for my 40th birthday and had the opportunity to interview three incredible herbalists. 

Ellenie was one of 'em and we met up at beautiful City Park to record this episode. 

I first met Ellenie at the event she organized for several years, the NOLA Herbal Gathering. It was so good to sit down and catch up with her.

She's had an incredible journey and I am honored to call her a friend.

Ellenie Marie Mabaoyo Cruz-Hampton is a mother, educator, poet, student midwife, doula, herbalist, reiki master, food literacy educator, artist and designer. Ellenie uses her given and learned talents to promote the art of ancestral practices to heal self, family and community. Motivated by social justice, she has shifted from being a high school English teacher to a free agent and entrepreneur promoting radical change through holistic wellness, self-care and community building. 

Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you in the next episode,

~Mason
