Nia D.
Nia is a fourth generation educator and a forever student. She learned to love the natural process of giving back to the Earth. Her specialty in composting/soil restoration, heals and helps the plants we grow and eat, as well as feeds the birds and the bees.
Through working in the public school system, she saw the importance of culturally relevant lessons, and crafts curricula with pride.
During her time serving the Twin Rivers school district she learned about the food insecurity in school neighborhoods and taught classes on harmful additives such as Red #40 found in commonly consumed foods.
She connected students to a variety of natural foods while also starting a compost collection system. The compost collection system showed the children what happens to the food waste as it transitioned from the school cafeteria, to the community center garden, and decomposed into a rich soil digestible food for growing vegetables and herbs. Many refer to her as the Compost Queen due to high enthusiasm for collecting food scraps.
Now, Nia’s passion and motivation is fueled by the obvious need to share knowledge on composting for soil health, growing food for autonomy, eating consciously for clear energy and repeating for quality of life. Her Compost Grow Eat Repeat methodology is based on the order of giving, caring for, and consuming LIFE !!
