Kennah Robertson

Grounded in the understanding that plants pass through the same pathways of Diaspora as people, my interests revolve around Cultural Botanical Knowledge in the Caribbean and the divergence and convergence of traditions throughout the island system. I am particularly curious to explore how socio-political and cultural histories shape the unique ways people use medicinal flora to heal themselves and their communities. My dedication to applied ancestral healing traditions situates my interest in health policy reform and the pursuit of equitable access to botanical resources within frameworks of reparations.
