#45 - Join us for a wonderful conversation with Herbal Teacher, Dancer, and Martial Artist Shereel Washington on the vital experience and lineage of Black North American Herbalism. In this episode, Shereel shares herbal wisdom honoring her lineage of healing with Black Elders and why having a multicultural knowledge of plants helps us to understand them more fully. She also offers historical and familial stories of plants that she loves, and tips for people who would like to connect with a more multicultural approach to herbalism.
