OUR JOURNEY
OUR MISSION
is to raise awareness of Type 2 Diabetes, affecting urban and rural
communities. We empower these communities to make informed choices that promote a healthy lifestyles. We collaborate by eliminating “food apartheid” which describe the conditions affecting urban and rural communities that lack access to healthy food.
We don’t live in food desert. Food apartheid is a system of segregation that divides those with access to an abundance of nutritious food and those who have been denied that access due to systemic injustice.
WE AIM
to foster connections among urban and rural communities throughout Washington State, sharing knowledge and expertise in the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes. We accomplish this through nature, exploration, reflection and creating nutritional Educational Programs.
BY IMMERSING
these communities to ecosystem, that extend beyond traditional health educational settings. We remind these communities how to collect seeds, planting, and harvesting food the way their ancestors have been doing for hundreds of years.
OUR EFFORTS
are to assist these communities in developing cultural gardens and equipping them with the techniques, tools, and resources that allow them to become stewards, and advocates in their communities in the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes.
4 C’s to 21st Center Life Skills
The 4 C’s create a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Students and communities need these specific skills to fully participate in today’s global community. They are Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication.
We Care for the Earth. We know it's a journey, and an emergent design, in BIPOC communities it's a moving target based on various injustice infrastructures in our neighborhoods.

We know Caring for the People is sharing and growing
cultural seeds, employing various ancestors traditional
methods to achieve this.
We incorporate Fair Share for All using methods that has been longstanding tradition in Black, Latino, and Indigenous societies for hundreds of years when growing food.
