The Healthy Youth ProjectDeveloped over several years after numerous researches uncovered the correlations between academic performance, emotional and physical health and diet. The Healthy Youth Project seeks to enlighten and empower student participants to choose a healthier lifestyle by introducing various workshops to address natural ways of avoiding chronic diseases through diet.
Additionally, part of the Healthy Youth Project includes healthy cooking demonstrations and development of an urban school garden. Students volunteer to help cultivate the garden along with the organic farming consultant. Students will use the produce to prepare meals for the community to purchase and to help raise money for the school. |

Organic Farmer Consultant “I have a passion for holistic health & wellness, family empowerment, nutrition, farming, horticulture therapy and permaculture. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Paul Quinn College. My area of focus was health and wellness with an emphasis on nutrition. I have certifications in conversation coaching, horticulture, food handlers and international resilience training for permaculture. While in undergrad, I participated in a few notable progress programs like the DukeImmerse at Duke University, Nicholas School of Environment and the Emmett J. Conrad Leadership Program. Additionally, I was nominated and won the 2014 National Black Caucus Regis Groff Award for leading social entrepreneurship. As a result, I am a motivational speaker, panelist, farmer, teacher and manager of a few local farm-to-table markets. My mission is to holistically empower individuals, encourage neighborhoods as they transform into communities." |
