In this episode I chat with Christopher, also known as Plant Kween, on healing, taking care, and using plants as a portal for self-care. Plant Kween shines a light on their experience as a Black, Queer, Femme person, sharing how we can unapologetically choose ourselves even in the midst of the tough stories. They also discuss caring for plants and how it can also be a mirror for how we can take care of ourselves.   “All these things have always existed; racism, homophobia, transphobia, capitalism, all the things they've always been here. Everything that has occurred this year is kind of beginning to pull back all those layers and folks are beginning to see that this country has a lot of work” - Plant Kween   Timestamps:   1.41 - Diving into plants and how it started for Plant Kween 4.59 - Discover whether plants have plants been healing for Plant Kween 11.26 - What does it look like to choose joy every day? 16.42 - Who has influenced Plant Kween on his journey to where he is today? 26.35 - Find out what Plant Kween has learnt this year about himself 29.53 - Plant Kween’s tips for starting your own plant garden     You can check out Plant Kween here on their Instagram and also their class with Skillshare. __________   Connect with me on Instagram:   @yasminecheyenne   Join My Community News List
