The Good Life
Has Roots.
I’m Sunyatta Amen, a fifth-generation Master Herbalist and founder of Calabash Tea + Tonic. My first teachers were my Jamaican and Indigenous great-grandmothers, healers who taught me that plants, food, home, hospitality and community care belong to one living system of knowledge.
I grew up putting those lessons to work in my family’s Harlem health food stores. For more than 35 years, I’ve carried that inheritance into the cup, kitchen, garden, home and airwaves.
Come with me. We’ll follow the roots, check the receipts and make what still serves us useful for how we live now.
ROOTS. RECEIPTS. REAL LIFE.
From My Table, Garden + Medicine Cabinet
Come see what I’m teaching, cooking, growing, questioning and making sense of this week.
Bring Sunyatta to Your Audience
I speak, teach, demonstrate and join conversations about food herbs, home, ancestry, culture, entrepreneurship and the practices that continue to shape modern life.
