Presented by Yam Vallis. Yam is an AfroIndigeonous fifth-generation community herbalist and clinical herbalist. Raised by a small rocky creek on Piscataway lands (Washington DC), with ancestral ties to the Lenapehoking (West Philly) where they currently live, Yam comes from a lineage of healers and storytellers. In their art and work with herbs, they are committed to building and imagining a future that centers on food & medicine sovereignty, abolition, and deep ancestral healing. Yam believes that reclaiming our ancestral relationship with plants can empower and uplift individuals by radically changing their relationship with their bodies and the land around them.
