Samaria Marley is an herbalist, farmer, singer/songwriter and the co-founder of the DC Mutual Aid Apothecary. When I met her through my herbalist school, Well of Indigenous Wisdom, I was astounded with her gentle yet powerful presence. When I learned more about the work she was doing in DC I was so inspired and lit up. (Not to mention she also has the voice of an angel. Listen to the episode to hear her moving song, Ancestors. Seriously, even if you just skip to the middle to listen to it, its worth it. I will surely be playing it to my ofrenda on samhain.)

We talk about:

• care starting with ourselves and in our communities
• returning to ways of reciprocity
• divesting from a culture of urgency

“Being able to do mutual aid work around herbalism just lets me know that more is possible."- Samaria I hope this episode, as Samaria says, lets you know that more is possible.
