Thanks for sharing your story with me @RonFinleyHQ!
Civil Eats@CivilEats9 Jan 2024
Ten years ago, @RonFinleyHQ, the self-proclaimed “Gangsta Gardener,” changed the trajectory of his life with a TED Talk about food apartheid in his community, South Central Los Angeles. “This all started because I needed some healthy food.” civileats.com/2024/01/09/a-t…

A TED Talk Put Ron Finley on the Map. 10 Years Later, the ‘Gangsta Gardener’ Is Going Strong.

Finley has grown comfortable with his role as spokesperson for gardening as a solution to food apartheid.
