Black in the Garden

5 Survival Lessons from our Plants

In Loving Memory of Ananda Lewis. We are deeply saddened that Ananda Lewis—television icon, mother, truth-teller, and fierce health advocate—has passed away. We were proud to have her join us on Black in the Garden as the Black media legend that she was, sharing her powerful story with grace, candor, and urgency. In her honor, we are re-releasing this episode in her memory. Ananda spoke openly about her breast cancer diagnosis and the challenges of navigating healthcare as a Black woman. This conversation is not only a tribute—it is a call to action. She used her voice to urge others, especially Black women, to take charge of their health through early detection, self-awareness, and advocacy. Let this episode serve as a reminder to make the appointment, ask the questions, and get the mammogram. Rest in power, Ananda. Your courage and brilliance continue to bloom in every listener you’ve touched.

Season Finale – Spring Wrap up

In this powerful episode of Black in the Garden, Colah B and co-host Joshua Hite (aka Plant Zaddy) dig into the revolutionary legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer and the Freedom Farm Cooperative. They explore how Hamer’s vision of food sovereignty, land ownership, and cooperative economics empowered Black communities—and why that vision still matters today. From the impact of celebrity allies to modern ways we can continue Hamer’s work, this episode is full of history, inspiration, and actionable steps for reclaiming self-sufficiency.
