I’ve realized that I don’t need to know it all; I just need to be the bridge that connects people, experts, ideas, and different worlds. I don’t need to reinvent the wheel but to be the person who builds a vehicle that moves forward. To find those parts and pieces of the puzzle, I needed to move. I need to create a strategy.

I'm passionate about finding alternative foods that don't necessarily change cultural eating habits but instead improve nutrient outcomes for both the body and the soil. During my recent research beginning of April in Kenya, I found one possible solution: Banana flour! 🥳

I've been in hiding for a bit;)So let me reintroduce myself : I'm Maria—an american-German photographer, author of “Eating with AFrica”, and a nutritionist. With a newfound purpose to transform lives in Africa through education on how to heal both the body and the soil.
