In today's episode, you hear from Jalen Gordon, one of the last Gullah bush medicine man in America.  Jalen discusses in this interview: 1. The sacred indigenous and Gullah wild herb life everlasting (Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium). 2. How his love for plants and nature started at 7 years old.  3. The struggles he faces as an African American foraging in the wild.  4. How his family, especially his Mom, and culture shaped and helped him become a medicine man.  Please share this episode with a friend so we can increase the awareness of how African Americans, especially males, are discriminated against while foraging and hopefully, through this awareness we can decrease the frequency of discrimination in this country.  Also, so we can spread the beauty and wisdom of the Gullah culture in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. I am blessed to be in their presence.  Connect with Jalen: Jalen's Instagram Account P.S. Registration for my ALL time favorite course, Medical Botany 1, is opening January 29th, 2024.
