The Conversation
Our Community
Has Been Waiting For

"I realized that indigenous American women of African descent have been passed plant knowledge in kitchens for generations — and then had to watch it get extracted, branded, and sold back to us as 'wellness.'"

— Brandy Sorrells, Certified Herbalist

The Crimson Crown is not another wellness podcast. It's a reclamation. Each episode pairs one herb with one honest conversation — ancestral history, modern science, and the real story of how Brandy used this plant in her own healing.

🌿
Rooted in Science

Every episode backed by ACHS-level herbal education and cited research — not trends.

🫧
Ancestrally Grounded

We tell the full story of where each plant came from and whose traditions it belongs to.

✦
Personally Honest

Brandy shares how she actually used each herb in her own life. No polished myths here.
