59 - Herbalism, Resistance and Remembrance with Layla K. Feghali
This episode is an interview with Layla K. Feghali (she/her), an ethnobotanist and cultural worker living between Lebanon and California.
We talk about the current iteration of genocide in Gaza, and the need for resistance, rage and action. Layla shares her experiences within herbalism and how folks can support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement that is highlighting herb companies supporting the Israeli Occupation. We discuss her new book The Land in Our Bones which weaves together her work in exploring the herbs and land-based medicines of Lebanon and Cana’an. We talk about ancestral herbalism, plant medicines for steadfastness, and so much more!
