    The Botany of Wakanda

    The Botany of Wakanda

    Ready for an exciting deep dive into Wakanda's botany and soil?! In this special episode, we're thrilled to be joined by two fellow Wakanda enthusiasts and friends of the show, Niyya @theBloomJourney and Derek our resident ETHNO-botanist.

    Host, Colah B. Tawkin opens with an exciting announcement about her TedX debut in Jacksonville, FL.


    In this Afro-Futuristic episode, we're exploring the rich plant-centric world of Marvel's Black Panther. While Wakanda is famous for its tech and culture, we’re most excited about the real-world parallels and universal lessons embedded in Wakanda's botanical themes. 


    Recorded during the movie's small-screen debut, we're talking about the heart-shaped herb, the enchantment of Vibranium-infused soil, and their connections to land ownership and Wakanda's hidden power. Bonus: Colah points out Shuri's most slept skill: botany! You’ll want to share this with all your favorite Wakandans before it ends!
