Denise Rodriguez

i'm an urban farmer from NYC out here in the bay area to gain more skills to bring back to my community, and make great connections with the people who call this area home.

i'm working toward bringing back ancestral healing practices and cultural traditions to Latino and Hispanic youth by learning ways to work with the land to grow food and medicine, share my access to language (Spanish/Haitian Creole) and reinvigorate the power that storytelling and music has in healing, igniting pride in individuals about their culture, and bringing people together.

i work extremely well with kids. i'm often told i have a very young and energetic spirit, so kids naturally gravitate toward me. i have a niece and nephew (8,2) who i care for constantly. my niece being someone i lived with and helped my sister raise for the first 4 years of her life.

i have a bike, so i can get to you! (i wear a helmet, don't worry!)

excited to meet you, and your little ones!
