## Resource

Rupa Marya is a physician, musician and writer. Her work mainly centres around food as medicine and doing away with colonial captilalist practices in favour of community. She was recently fired for speaking up against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and thus found herself moving to Ireland where she is doing phenomenal work. We are very lucky to have her!   As always, don't forget to follow Book of Leaves on Instagram , Blue Sky or Facebook , leave us a review, and share with a friend. Find my depop profile @cearadc !
