Presearch Founder Colin Pape and Natasha Nicholes of "We Sow We Grow" on The Backpack Show with Chris Brogan and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone.

Natasha Nicholes comes to us by way of former guest Janice Person: "Several years ago, Natasha started gardening with her kids. They had so much fun and learned so much that she kept growing more and sharing it with other homeschoolers. She’s completed the urban farmer / master gardener certification and created a non-profit to really ratchet up the impact they are having. They have built a conference & a group on Facebook that shows BIPOC that growing your own food isn’t only possible, but it’s a lot of fun and empowering." Come meet Natasha! https://wesowwegrow.org/
