Our Founder

Native Praxis was born & raised in New Haven, CT; an indigenous resident to the city, Praxis has always had a strong passion for uplifting & empowering the local community.

Praxis has been urban farming in New Haven more than 13 years of experience growing food and educating community members on growing food for themselves. Praxis strongly believes that all people should have sovereignty over their food systems because that leads to greater sovereignty over their lives!

In 2018 Praxis decided to start his own culturally relevant agriculture business that specifically targeted the Black & Brown communities in New Haven. He founded Root Life LLC which focuses on community upliftment & empowerment through urban farming, urban farm training, food justice education, agritourism, food aid efforts & community focused health events.

Praxis currently serves on the Black Farmer Fund Investment Committee, National Young Farmers Coalition's 'Cultivemos' Mental Health Farmer Advisory Board & Liberated Land Cooperative’s Steering Committee.
