Maya McDowell loves all things food: Learning about it, growing it, cooking it, eating it. Her belief that food is a right, and is often one of our earliest introductions to culture, led her to an extensive career in food justice. Maya's background in youth development brought her to SustainEd Farms, where she is the Manager of Operations and Programs, supporting school garden programming for youth all across Denver. Within the SFPC, Maya served as co-chair of the Healthy Food Access and Affordability committee, and is now on the Public Land committee.

"So much of what we think about in environmentalism is finger-wagging and gloom-and-doom, but when you look at a lot of those examples where people are taking things into their hands, they’re joyful. That’s healing not only for land but for our culture as well — it feels good. It’s also good to feel your own agency. "

You Don’t Have to Be Complicit in Our Culture of Destruction Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of “Braiding Sweetgrass,” argues for a new way of living.
