Show Notes
Issa Throwback! We bringing back this episode to celebrate Black Botanists Week 2021.
Join us on Part 1 of 2 for a discussion on George Washington Carver! We're not here for the peanut lessons you learned in school either. Colah B Tawkin has a convo with modern day Botanical Brotha and crazy botanist, Derek. We get rap with Derek and come to learn a bit about Carver's influence on him because representation matters. Part 1 of our conversation gets into Carver's 'straight out of a Toni Morrison novel' origin story, how G. Dubb C saved the economy of the south and you guessed it: academic discriminatory shade. To be continued...
