Recollect Season 1 Episode 1 Vegan Talk with Candace Parrish, PhD

Recollect: Black Women Decolonizing thru Story & Nature

I'm here in conversation at Her Story Garden Studios where I am Director with Dr. Candace Parrish. It's a rainy day in November 2021 and we are having tea with picture windows that bring in the beauty of fall leaves and the monstrous green bamboo swaying in the windows. We are eating vegan corn curls and laughing our assess off about growing up Black and not knowing we are a vegan, and showing up now as a vegan at the southern Black bar-b-cue. Candace is a university professor standing on the freedom edge of academia. She is the owner of OMandP a sustainable, ethical, and vegan design company that creates beauty, accessory, and home good products. She is also owner of Yellow Plate Vegan a company that makes vegan & sustainable small-batch herbs, products, & recipes. Zelda is author of award winning novels and memoirs and holds a PhD in Expressive Arts Therapies. Through Her Story Garden Studios, she is devoted to inspiring Black Women and Black Girls to self-define, heal, and liberate through stories and nature. These episodes are a conversational peak at and taste of her book to come Recollect: One Black Woman's Journey to Decolonize Love, Work and Home. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zelda-lockhart/support
