Living Green Garden: An Interview with Libré Booker
When you grow your own food, the nutrients your body needs will be grown in the food that you are connecting with and growing. It is like the plants know what your body needs.

We Can’t Not: A Poem
We showed up to let the world know
That our stories have the energy, the true power,
The true electricity, to protect all of America,
Just like that able and proud widow
Whose life is now spent in places like this,
With us, protecting America.
She can’t not.
We will be there beside her and for her because, like her,
We can’t not.
