Student Doctor Cesar Corona-Gutierrez joins Stranger Fruit Vol VI, Episode 7 to explore the concept of "sprouting"—not just as a metaphor for personal growth, but as a communal force for nourishment and transformation.

In this episode, we reflect on the lessons of a simple bean sprout: small, fragile, yet filled with potential. Growth begins in vulnerability, but with the right environment and care, it flourishes into something far greater. How do we ensure that as we grow, we also provide sustenance and support for others?
