Plant Tea with the PlantBlerd!

On Episode 4 of Black in the Garden we take a beat to get into the origin story of the podcast as Colah B Tawkin recounts a few ways life tried to drag her during her pursuit of Black Excellence.
This week we are joined by the illustrious Soil Sista: The PlantBlerd, Kamili, to get into some black nerd culture like #DemThrones and the unique ways we blackily engage on social media as Blerds. We discuss plantfluencership and why so many of us create 'Instagram duality' via an alternative page to fully indulge our houseplant stanning in the digital green 'hood. Kamili dropped several gems, such as a life lesson from a fiddle leaf fig plant and even had time to quote Alice Walker! We discussed her #MonsteraBoo and how she acquired a Pink Princess philodendron named Grace Jones. Getchu some tea and get into this planty plantTEA, boo!
