Feeling incredibly honored to be part of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) Building Black Wealth 100 City Tour right here in Prince George’s County, MD!

Special thanks to my fellow HU Bison, Charisse Callender-Scott of DCA Realtors, for inviting me to be part of this amazing opportunity.

Grateful to be featured in the latest edition of The Washington Informer, where I had the chance to share a powerful truth: Optimal health is wealth, and where you live plays a major role in how well you live.

Let’s continue building legacy, community, and generational health—one neighborhood at a time.

I get many questions about natural alternatives to prescription drugs so reposting again ☺

74% of all pharmaceutical drugs are based on plant sources. I say skip the middle man and go straight to the source. Less side effects and less money.

Just in case...save your seeds. You may need them.

Self-Pollinating Plants (Can fertilize their own flowers) 

1. Tomato: Most tomato varieties are self-pollinating, meaning each flower can fertilize itself. 

2. Cucumber: While cucumbers can be self-pollinating, certain varieties (like some of the larger types) may require bees for better pollination, but many smaller varieties will self-pollinate. 

3. Pepper: Peppers are self-pollinating, and the flowers do not require insects for fertilization. 

4. Squash (Zucchini, Pumpkin): Most squash varieties are not self-pollinating. Zucchini and pumpkins are mostly self-pollinating but may still benefit from cross-pollination. However, cross-pollination between different squash varieties may affect the seed. 

5. Carrot: Carrots are typically self-pollinating, but they do attract bees, and cross-pollination may occur if you grow multiple varieties. 

6. Radish: Radishes are self-pollinating. 

7. Herb Seeds (Basil, Parsley, etc.): - Basil: Self-pollinating, though bees and other pollinators can help. - Parsley: Generally self-pollinating, but cross-pollination may occur in the same plant family. 

8. Bean Seeds: Beans are generally self-pollinating (especially common beans like green beans, kidney beans, etc.)

Cross-Pollinating Plants (Need another plant of the same species for fertilization) 

1. Melon Seeds (Watermelon, Cantaloupe, etc.): Melons typically need cross-pollination, although some varieties can be self-pollinating. Bees or wind often assist with transferring pollen between flowers of different plants. 

2. Pea Seeds: While peas are often self-pollinating, cross-pollination can still occur, especially if multiple varieties are grown. 

Self-pollinating plants are often easier to manage for home gardeners since you don’t need to worry as much about ensuring pollen transfer between plants.

If you are interested in growing your herbal knowledge and home apothecary, a good place to start is learning the various types of herbal actions. Herbal actions refer to the clinical effect an herb will have on the body. There are thousands and thousands of herbs in commercial use and most of these herbs have multiple uses and benefits. It can be overwhelming to get to know herbs one by one. However, when you start with the herbal action you desire, you will have the accurate terminology to research the many herbs that provide that particular action and more effectively identify the right herb for you.

In learning the herbal actions, you will also get acquainted with the herbs that have a wide breadth of uses such as stinging nettle leaf, licorice root, turmeric root, ginger root, rosemary leaf, chamomile buds, etc.
