“When I speak with people, or I share what I am doing in the garden, I am happy, and I feel I have a luminescence outside of myself when I share it with my people. When they approach me and talk to me, it’s like their body is right here, but their excitement is outside of themselves.”
— Edwina Rufus, Food Security Coordinator, Nawalakw
