🌱 From Concrete Jungles to Green Havens: My Health Transformation Story 🌱

Hey there, beautiful souls! I’m Yvonne Yasmine Carter—your friendly neighborhood Vertical Farming Technologist with a passion for turning urban spaces into lush, life-giving sanctuaries. 🌿✨ But let me tell you, my journey wasn’t always this green (literally and figuratively).

Five years ago, I was a mess. Like, "surviving on instant noodles and 3 hours of sleep" kind of mess. My skin was dull, my energy was nonexistent, and my mental health? Let’s just say my therapist knew me by my Starbucks order. ☕😅

Then, one day, I stumbled upon a tiny vertical farm tucked away in the heart of the city. It was love at first sight. 🌱💖 The way those plants thrived in such a small space—just like how I wanted to thrive in my chaotic life—it sparked something in me. I quit my soul-sucking desk job, dove headfirst into the world of sustainable agriculture, and never looked back.

Fast forward to today: I’m a certified plant whisperer (okay, fine, technologist), turning skyscrapers into farms and teaching people how to grow their own food—and happiness. 🏙️➡️🌿 My secret? Health isn’t just about what you eat; it’s about how you live.

When I’m not geeking out over hydroponics, you’ll find me doing yoga at sunrise (yes, I’m that girl), experimenting with fermented foods (kimchi is life), or cuddling my rescue cat, Miso. 🐱💕

Life’s too short to not feel alive. Let’s grow together—literally and figuratively. 🌱✨

P.S. Slide into my DMs for plant tips or just to say hi. I don’t bite… unless you’re a pest attacking my basil. 😉
