Mosadi – JP014

In this episode we interview Mosadi, founder of Rooted and Sustained, LLC. We originally met at the Black Urban Growers Panel in DC in 2018. He was the first person I mentioned this podcast to, and now we are extremely proud to be able to present his wisdom to you!

Before you listen, we recorded this podcast at the Rita Bright Family and Youth Center Garden, which Mosadi constructed. Therefore it is noisy, because we are off of 14th ST NW. If you are familiar with DC, anywhere on 14th ST is going to be noisy. We considered this as a slight hazard towards the recording quality, but we reconsidered because this is our environment. This is where our food grows, this is where our soil grows, this then, is where our soul grows. We know you understand, and we subsequently appreciate and thank you for listening to Jìgìjìgì.
