Notes To My Sister

I’m counting down to the Believe In Green 10-day Green Smoothie Challenge.

This year’s challenge is benefiting the Lower Eastside Girls Club. In honor of the event, The Raw Divas have lined up 10 Fascinating Big Thinkers for the Challenge participants.

Ani Phyo is scheduled for Friday, August 20th. Ms. Phyo is a raw food chef-extraordinaire! I’m looking forward to checking out her newest book, Ani’s Raw Food Essentials. Having already browsed some of her Raw Food Dessert recipes, I’m confident this book will be filled with new treats to taste! When Ms. Phyo is not in the kitchen, she shares her time helping teach youth how to create their own gardens with Community Services Unlimited. For some great how-to videos and some wonderful culinary adventures check out her website, www.AniPhyo.com, the Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato looks like a perfect match for my ripening cherry tomatoes!

Phaedra Ellis Lamkins is scheduled for Wednesday, August 18th.

This dynamic lady has even worked with the famed Black Eyed Peas to spread the Green Economy news to the younger generations like my son’s (without whom, I’d have no idea who the Black Eyed Peas are…). Raise your green smoothie glass for a toast as you check out their greeting from my beloved state of California.

Majora Carter is scheduled for Monday, August 16th. Ms. Carter is known for her Green the Ghetto campaign and dedication to Environmental Justice. When it comes to green smoothies, access to locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables is key. Ms. Carter is currently working on two 10,000 square foot green houses to be built in Detroit. She plans to expand to include other urban areas for a national brand of urban produce. Developing a diverse Homeland food supply is a sure way to improve our National Security! Check out Ms. Carter’s presentation in the video below that my husband found for me from DemocracyNow!, Thanks Hubs!
