Congratulations to Jemia Ayer’s, founder of Holistic Harmony 🌿

Now officially part of the Seed 2 Market journey — and featured in today’s class launch.

Holistic Harmony represents exactly why this program exists: natural, handcrafted wellness products rooted in purpose, discipline, and ownership.

Because of the scholarship sponsored by Black Seeds Urban Farms, Jemia is building more than products — she’s building infrastructure. Pricing strategy. Cost analysis. Retail readiness. Brand elevation.

This is what happens when community invests in capacity.

Holistic Harmony is now available at Roxie’s Market in Uptown Memphis — and this is only the beginning.

To future funders watching:
This is measurable impact.
This is scalable.
This is what economic empowerment looks like when it’s done with intention.

Congratulations, Jemia. We’re proud of you. 🌿✨

Today I am going to plea to you about saving a 3 acre area that was once called the most dangerous and disadvantaged area in Memphis. We changed the narrative / the story and made it something beyond words. Now we are at a disadvantage in the current climate and I need your help. We want to secure this community space and keep it clean, safe and sustainable. I want to thank those who showed up, volunteered, donated and supported this mission. You can help us too.

She guarded the gates, oh yes, she did, with a question she asked, just one little bid: “What color are you today?” She’d ask the visitors who came her way…

Introducing What Color Are You Today? — a vibrant new children’s book that inspires emotional awareness through the magic of color, storytelling, and the garden gates of imagination. Written by Camille James, also known as Farmer C, this lyrical journey is rooted in self-expression and connection.

Coming soon to Amazon and in print! Stay tuned for the official release date.
