Caribbean Medicine Cabinet: Growing Cerasee and Mullein for Winter Wellness

By Yishay Stewart-Mitchell(Wax) As a passionate cultivator of medicinal plants, I’ve found that some of the most potent remedies come from unexpected places. Two stars in my winter wellness regime are Cerasee and Mullein – traditional Caribbean powerhouses that have found a new home in urban gardens across NYC. Cultivating Cerasee (Momordica charantia) This climbing vine isn’t just medicine – it’s a testament to Caribbean resilience. In my Aunt’s Brooklyn garden, Cerasee thrives along trellises, producing distinctive yellow flowers and

Education: Hip-Hop Studies and the Rise of Iconography in the Classroom

New York, November 12, 2024 In a time when higher education is reaching out into the worlds of pop culture and everyday life, it feels only natural that Yale University would open its doors to the lyrical world of Beyoncé. Starting next spring, students at Yale will have the opportunity to take “Beyoncé Makes History: Black Radical Tradition History, Culture, Theory & Politics through Music,” a course entirely dedicated to examining the influence and artistry of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.

From Code to Seeds: A Tech Veteran’s Pivot to Sustainable Agriculture

Let’s talk about career plots that are wilder than Boston Medical Center’s 7,000-square-foot rooftop farm. I’m that kid from Jamaica, Queens who was debugging code while most kids were still figuring out their Nintendo controllers. Started teaching myself programming and computer repair at age 6 because why play games when you can take apart the whole system, right? The Tech Stack Before The Plant Stack Fast forward through years of self-taught tech wizardry to 2018 – graduated from F.I.R.S.T. Institute

I’ve watched Yishay transform our shaded lanai in Pine Hills into a lush, beautiful garden. Orchids, elephant plants – even our own homemade compost and fertilizer – he brought life to a space that was once empty. I couldn’t be prouder. GrowGuys is more than a brand; it’s a way for him to spread that same love and care to others.

GrowGuys put me on to a whole new vibe, man. I used to think plants was just dirt and water, but Wax (Yishay Stewart-Mitchell) showed me it’s deeper than that. It’s like therapy – watching somethin’ grow ‘cause you cared for it, you know? Never thought I’d be out here takin’ care of plants, but GrowGuys got me feelin’ like I can actually build somethin’ good.

Yo, Wax (Yishay Stewart-Mitchell) came through with some real knowledge. I was hurtin’ and didn’t wanna hit the ER, so he showed me some natural ways to handle it. Straight up, he taught me how to look after myself without all that hospital mess. GrowGuys is different – they got people helping each other out here for real, no fake stuff.
