Hello!
Who we are.
Yam (they|them) is an Black, Queer, Trans fifth-generation herbalist with Afro-Indigeonous heritage and a MS in Clinical Herbal Medicine
Raised by a small rocky creek on Piscataway lands (“Washington DC”), with ancestral ties to the Lenapehoking (“Philadelphia, PA”) 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.
Currently they are working with local orgs like PhillyHerbHub and Philly Orchard Project to provide free herbal products and educational events in their West Philly community.
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.
