Christin is a garden-to-table educator dedicated to helping wellness enthusiasts embrace a nature-based approach to health and wellness. Through hands-on education, he teaches people how to grow food in small spaces, create locally sourced plant-based meals, and build connections with nature as a community. His journey into food justice began in 2016 during an MLK Day community service event, where he learned about food apartheid and redlining. A chance encounter with the CEO of About Fresh, an organization converting buses into mobile produce markets, sparked his passion for addressing food inequities. Inspired by the idea that fresh food could be grown and distributed creatively, Christin committed to growing food anywhere possible—on balconies, patios, and window ledges—and empowering others to do the same.

With over half a decade of experience, Christin earned his Master Gardener certification from the University of the District of Columbia in 2019 and has worked in various gardens across the DMV, including the Washington Youth Garden at the National Arboretum. He is also the host of The Afro Beets Podcast, a food and culture show exploring 
the intersection of food, land, and well-being. Beyond the garden, he 
creates immersive farm-to-table experiences, highlighting the work of
local farmers and food entrepreneurs while celebrating the flavors of the land. His mission is to reconnect people to their food sources, advocate for sustainable food systems, and inspire communities to take control of their health—one seed at a time.
