African American Sustainability Project

One raw yumster, Eden, is currently working on a project about sustainability practices amongst African Americans and would LOVE to hear from y’all if you have some stories to share – here’s her message:

Dear Friends,

I am working on a magazine article query regarding the presence of sustainable lifestyle practices amongst African American individuals and families. I am hoping to connect with and interview African Americans who for whom any of the practices listed below are a significant part of their day to day life.

• Homesteading
• Homeschooling
• Gardening & Sprouting – (enough to provide all or at least 80% of the family’s produce needs.)
• Permaculture farming
• Hunting & Fishing
• Built their own home with their own hands
• Live off grid
• Raise own animals for food and wool
• Beekeeping
• Sell anything that they gain from the above to supplement or provide family income.

If you know of anyone, I would love to receive a reference or introduction from you. They can either contact me on facebook (Eden Fadzo Chuislekuda), email me or call me: edenganya@msn.com or 520-216-4144.

Jinji and Storm Talifiero have been doing raw/living foods forever and have a great process to support anyone at whatever level they are wherever they are called the 28/21 day…check it out. They have even raised all their children at raw vegans…

http://www.rawfoodsonabudget.com is another great one…

Greetings Sis: I am also a raw foodist, 70-80% and I eat some cooked food, hummus, chik patties , but all vegetarian. I am enjoying your blog. I have several raw food friends as well; for years. If u r trying to lose weight…u need to eat more& eat more frequently: and keep fat low…i.e: not too many avocados. I’ve lost 30 lbs in about 6 months… I eat every 2-3 hours; even if it is just a piece of fruit with water. If your body is always working; you are increase your metabolism and eating live foods that digest quickly; you’ll drop lbs like crazy!!! Good luck

Hi Sis:

Thank you for having me on your blogroll. I will do the same for you. Can you send me an email to mochaangels@aol.com? I didn’t know you were in the DC area. I’m in metro Baltimore. Your journey sounds a lot like mine.

hugs,
Althea

The short answer is online. There are many support groups/message boards out there with like minded people who can help walk with you. I would suggest http://www.rawfoodtalk.com Alissa Cohen’s board. They have really helped me. Also, take a look at the links I link to. I’ve found them very helpful.
