About
For as long as I can remember, I have always had a keen interest in the laws that shape society as we see today. I am educated with a bachelors in Political Science and Economics but as part of my yogic teachings, I have found a purpose that fulfills me spiritually and accomplishes a change this world is aching for. I recognize that we are presently suffering from food inequality, and this inequality is heavily marked by economic class. We are in a crisis in which the middle class is restricted from accessing high quality nourishing foods by rising costs and low supply. With the notion that food is medicine, restricted access to healthy high-quality foods is putting a large strain on our healthcare system. I have spent years preparing myself to be involved in this greater need to resolve these systemic issues that we see today. I wish to build more connections with like-minded people that want to be part of that change. I look forward to continuing my education to gather more wisdom and fulfill my life's task.
