Continuing our intros with the Food Forest team, we’d love to introduce you to Alexis Ruby Trevizo. She is one of our Co-Food Forest Managers alongside Ali. We asked her some questions so we could learn more about her interests and who she is. Meet Alexis.
Please introduce yourself.
I am the oldest out of 4 and a total pisces that flows in the direction of the current. I am fueled by curiosity of the world of plants and plant medicine.
What kind of hobbies do you have?
I like to travel, learning how to play the djembe drum, and the guitar. I also love to dance.
How do you practice self-care and wellness?
I enjoy taking breathwork and mindfulness workshops. Exploring more sound healing and medicine music. Dancing has been therapeutic.
How has your family lineage impacted the way you navigate the world, or the way you do your work?
Honoring my ancestors is really a driving force behind my work. The steps they took to bring me to where I am today is something I take with a great deal of respect. I was taught to do my best to learn from any situation I am in. I hold my indigenous lineage with a great deal of pride and having the privilege of learning and growing more everyday alongside the plants has been truly an honor.
How do you show up for your community?
Through knowledge exchanges, I learn from them and offer my teachings in return. I always feel humbled to be able to offer the blessings I have received back to the community
What do you appreciate about the collective?
The continuous love and dedication to the community. It is inspiring to see such strong and impactful humans dedicated to their work.
What is a strength or positive quality of yours that you bring to the collective?
The vibes, haha This is a hard one for me. I feel like others could answer this better than me.
The plant offerings is something I have found strength in. The direct communication I have with them could offer some insight and support in the building of the wellness center and food forest.
What do you look forward to in the work with the collective?
The continuous growth. I have met so many amazing spirits that I have learned from and still have many more things to learn. The further development of the wellness center and food forest is exciting. The new connections with new community members yet to be made. And seeing the direct impact, the work of the collective has made.
What book are you currently reading? (It can be an audio book). Or what podcast do you often like listening to?
Bhagavad Gita
Thank you Alexis for sharing about yourself. We’re so happy to have you be a part of the Collective!
