"Making things that make the difference for you"

02/23/2026

Coming up next Saturday! It's gonna be epic!

02/20/2026

My newly formatted zines arrived today just in time for the Wellness Market Celebrating Black Herbalists: Past, Present & Future on Saturday, February 28 from 11 am to 4pm.

I created this zine years ago as a quick glance guide on Black North American Herbalism. I've since, added a few more details like famed Black Herbalists and plant profiles.

From this, will come my book that I hope every herbal program herbalist will have.

Come see me at the market next Saturday and get your copy.

Documentary Screening of Little Medicine Thing: Emma Dupree, Herbalist (1979) with Lucky Ruiz

In honor of Black History Month, Berkeley Herbal Center staff member, Lucky Ruiz, is hosting a screening of Little Medicine Thing: Emma Dupree, Herbalist (1979) followed by a community discussion where guests will be facilitated through a chat on herbal ancestors, where we do and don’t see ourselves in realms of wellness, and how we can support each other’s dreams and endeavors as healers of color.

Shereel Washington and Berkeley Herbal Center are proud to present Celebrating Black Herbalists: Past, Present, & Future Wellness Market from 11 AM to 4 PM.

African Americans have made significant contributions to American history, culture, and life in various areas, including agricultural technology, textiles, crafts, arts & sciences, human development, and plant medicine. Notable Black herbalists like Harriet Tubman, Ms. Emma Dupree, and George Washington Carver have made essential contributions to what is known as “Western Herbalism” on the North American continent.

Berkeley Herbal Center is thrilled to amplify Black herbal ancestors and their successors to foster a greater sense of gratitude, acknowledgment, and appreciation for their contributions. From body work to soul food to Black herbal education and more, this market is a great way to support Black entrepreneurs and self-well-being.
