Black Flora - Profiles of Inspiring Black Flower Farmers + Florists

Mornings with Mayesh

Teresa J. Speight, the author of Bloom Imprint’s new book, Black Flora, along with 3 of the featured designers - KiaraHancock, Isha Foss, and Gina Lett Shrewsberry - joined me this week for our latest episode! We discussed Black Flora which showcases the excellence and contributions of Black flower farmers and floral designers throughout the country. Teri writes in her introduction, “Younger generations of Black plant-lovers are seeking inspiring examples of successful floral artists and entrepreneurs. When they see their potential -- through representation of people who look like them in farming and floristry -- the possibilities of the future enable their dreams.” Be sure to grab your copy of Black Flora here.
