 Why does food justice work matter? In my opinion, it's because that's what we're all working for. We're working for food. I mean, ultimately we need the food to nourish our bodies so that we can be the best humans possible. And that's why it's important. It's a part of as well making it known that these demographics of people, regardless of education or what have you, deserve fresh food because it is our birthright. Especially in my community, in the black community, what that means is that we have access, that we will be able to have access to fresh, local, culturally relevant, so they may not be local, food, but also to real food. I mean, look at us. Here we are in Park Hill right now. You can literally do a full circle. There's no food except for right here, where we at in this garden. The health impact of not having access to fresh food is devastating in my community. We have now normalized being sick. People having cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, being overweight, obese, that's normal now. So in 2017, I was hired on as a Double of Food Bugs community advocate. And this program, once I read what it was about and what it was doing, I knew it was going to kill the game. It was going to kill the game because it took down the two barriers that I always hear people say. Number one, there's no access, and number two, it costs too much. So I thought, huh, Double of Food Bugs, here it is. Not only are they bringing access by having this farmers market every Wednesday, but number two, it accepts SNAP and it doubles up your dollar. And since I've been working at Liveville, Colorado now as the Double of Food Bugs program assistant, I've seen the invaluable work that they do from the policy level on state, local, federal. Just making sure that, you know, they're, they have these advocates so that the advocates can gather the knowledge and gather the wants and the needs from the community, and then they're able to implement it. So I like the fact that they have the grassroots, the local community in place with the policy so that it all form together.
