Kitchen Herbalism: Traditionally Nourishing Babies with Earth Foods
with Josie Valadez Fraire

You will receive a recording of the live session that took place Saturday April 24th 10- 11:30

Join Josie to discuss the impact of settler colonialism on our food relationships and the way we feed our children/families. Learn how we can welcome plant medicine and Earth Foods into every meal. This share will also include a recipe and cooking demonstration for a delicious, plant-based/vegan treat for children (and adults)!

Josie Valadez Fraire (she/ella) is an indigenous woman (wixáritari/mexika), mother, feeler, lover, and plant-persun born on occupied Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute territory in so-called Boulder, Colorado. Her homelands are south of the colonial border in so-called Zacatecas, Mexico. Her love is poured into raising her baby, Metztlixochitl, creating medicine, working with our Earth and expanding communities.

Josie centers her peoples’ indigenous teachings to offer decolonizing knowledge/skill shares with community. She works to unpack topics of indigeneity, food sovereignty, and plant/Earth medicine in Brown communities that, like her, have been denied access to traditional ways of knowing and being. she loves to write, listen, laugh, dance, cook with baby Metz, pray, and (un)learn. Josie prays to support in healing herself, others, and our Earth through lovesharing and sacred connection with all relations.

All proceeds will go to CRMC’s Midwifery Service Fund to directly fund midwifery care for our community.
