Rooted in Culture. Grounded in Wisdom. Grown for Liberation.
 

At the HPOC School of Herbalism, we reclaim the sacred relationship between people of color and the plant kingdom. Our school is a sanctuary for ancestral knowledge, cultural healing traditions, and modern herbal science—all cultivated through the lens of BIPOC experiences, histories, and health needs.
 

We are more than a school. We are a movement of herbalists, healers, midwives, community caregivers, and future-focused visionaries committed to reviving, protecting, and passing down our botanical birthrights.
