Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

And as we head into the season when things are being seeded and planted and we're starting to till the soil, I think this is a good time to talk with somebody who is teaching women all

And we're going to be feeding each other, you know, which I think is how we started. We need to get back to them. So, Benita, explain or tell us how you became the pharmacist.

How became the pharmacist?

It all started, really, when I was in a terrible car accident.

As a result of that, I wanted to be healthy and whole again.

And just dealing a lot with the food, letting the nutrition heal
