CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Goddess Jasmine Irons-Anokute
1. What type of art do you create? Pressed flower art
2. How long have you been doing art for? 1 year
3. Who are your creative influences: I’m really inspired by Frida Kahlo, more so by her as a person than her art. She was vibrant, full of color, brave, outspoken and an all around bad ass. She always found a way to create, despite her pain. The same with Billie Holiday, Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins and other creators who found artistic freedom during the darkest times of oppression or mental illness. Overall, I’m inspired by anyone who has the guts to create and put it out in the world.

Many chronic diseases today can be attributed to systemic inflammation. Inflammation, a localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes red, swollen, hot, and painful, is a reaction to injury or infection. To help resist COVID-19, the flu, a cold, and any other virus, here’s what you need to know about Turmeric:
1. Turmeric is both spiritual AND medicinal. Turmeric is used in Indian rites and rituals. In the Ayurvedic tradition, which comes from the culture in India and some parts of the Middle East, people eat turmeric at every single meal and mix it with red pepper to magnify its properties. It is a spice that has been around for 5,000 years, native to India, and cultivated throughout the tropics. Turmeric is a sterile plant that does not produce any seeds, and grows from 3 to 5 feet tall with dull but pretty yellow flowers.
