Community Herbalist, Organizer, and Storyteller

Bridging land, plants, and poetry, Mandana Boushee weaves together the wisdom of ecology, community organizing, and the power of storytelling, drawing on two decades of experience as a ethnobotanist, writer, educator, and community herbalist. Whether through her care work as an herbalist, her advocacy for farmers through the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, or her poetry, the heart-mycelium feeding Mandana’s work remains clear: to connect, heal, and protect through the land and the stories that shape it.
