A North Carolina native, Red, graduated from Hampton University earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 2019. She studied Biology Pre-Med in hopes of one day attending medical school. After working as a technician in the Emergency Department for some time, she learned that medical school wasn’t her life’s purpose. Red then decided to look at medicine from a wholistic standpoint, focusing on how to heal the human body with Mother Earth’s resources. After experiencing an all-natural at-home water birth with her first-born son, Six, she began studying African American herbalism, human sciences including birth and postpartum Doula support, phytopharmacology, African spirituality, and much more! As a perpetual student, Red is cultivating a Black-Owned Apothecary to hold space for wholistic healing through herbal education, natural birth support, community outreach and advocacy for Black wellness.
