I'm Pula Badila. I'm a gardener, artist, environmental activist and I found a girl by a cutscene which has raised $10,000 in two weeks and has built 17 raised-back gardens people's homes for fresh food. World Black Cutscene is a movement to bring us back to our connection with our food and our knowledge of our food and knowing where it comes from, not how girls know and how we can use it to sustain ourselves. I was raised here in Hudson, New York. Growing up so has been very important to me, though my environment and know the community and know how to be able to learn and share with the community as well. Just was important for me to make sure that we're all receiving or at least do my best to create a space where we all can receive similar access to these things like fresh food or organic food. I just started at $200 because I was like whatever, we just need some soil and some pots and then from there people were donating and it just started to get grander. It just like really inspired me to go full throttle, you know. I got into a very beautiful space of trust. Now there's 17 raised-back gardens, it's a fish of the establishment. Food is absolutely a weapon and it's a weapon in the way that they push processed food to continue to cause illnesses and all these different things that make us suffer and have like long-term effects. They're literally like attacking our community by this processed food and this ill food that they're feeding us. It's also a weapon on our part when we come back into our food, our routine and to our knowledge and into our self-sufficiency. Having the gardens right there in their home don't have to go so far to get your groceries or you're able to like harvest right from home. You also know that it's coming from a fresh place, all the produce is organic, the soil is organic. It really changes how you think too as far as security goes. Having food to carry. As far as the families that have never run anything at all, now they have this lush garden. Having it there changes the whole cycle of like, I grew this what I have here and I'm using it, I'm cooking it, it's going to go to my family, it's like feeding bellies, like the love I put into some plants is like re-nurturing all of these elements. The need, it brings the families together, it brings healing together, community healing together, it creates a connection with us as far as being able to all have like growth or not like our own pace of growth, you know, so it helps us to also check in on each other about these things. I see myself as a guide as well as far as how I'm able to reintroduce these elements of our connection to the earth, to the soil and to our ancestral wisdom as well, that's very much deep within us. So many people who weren't growing at all last year didn't even know like anything about planting seeds, like are growing now, it's encouraging to know that, you know, just even you as one person can make a big difference. you
