What is Salt + Yams?
It’s a lot of things, but mostly its purpose is to:
Archive Black health modalities dating back to enslavement and spanning through the diaspora.
Investigate the many facets of health inequity.
Uplift interesting, underreported information about Black health history.
Write about anything else I think is cool or relevant because I’m the captain.
As it grows, it will expand. And I’m excited about that.
