Scenes from @padma.earth's inaugural intentional dining experience last week with @comptoncommunitygarden & @sashaemoniee. I first met Padma founder @kynap when she joined our initial Usal cooking class. We immidiately connected, and in the short time that I've known her I have watched her create real change and organization around the things she believes in - community and food equity being some of them. Shes a profound thinker but also a doer, someone who will inspire you in two sentences. In a group setting, within the confinds of her lush Highland Park backyard, is where her passion and skills seem to magically align. Kyna is a far-reaching host, in every sense of the word. And any guest of her's leaves with - even just mildly - a deeper connection to self, the Earth, and eachother. words: @michaelwashh video: @brandontlu
