Did you know that we only eat about 0.1% of all the plants we know exist on the earth? Of the roughly 400,000 known vascular plants on earth, about 300,000 can be eaten with the right preparation & knowledge; but out of those 300,000 we humans only eat about 200 of those plants in total, globally. Why is that? Well, excluding the non-edible & poisonous plants that we simply just shouldn’t eat, there are a few other reasons we don’t consume a lot of plants. Mostly those reasons are due to agriculture & harvesting on a mass scale. Some crops are less weather and pest resistant, harder to be transported, grow slowly, or simply don’t produce as much yield for profit. But that’s on a large scale. Imagine how many delicious & nutritious plants are out there not being enjoyed just because the local government can’t make enough money off of it? some of them might quite literally be in your backyard (or alley-way) right now.

FIGHTING ON THE TANK DAVIS VS. FRANK MARTIN UNDERCARD AGAINST THE FORMERLY UNDEFEATED ELIJAH GARCIA. THIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FIGHT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 30TH BUT WAS POSTPONED DUE TO GARCIA BATTLING SEASONAL ALLERGIES THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FIGHT. EXPECTING ALL OUTSTANDING ISSUES TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY THE NEW FIGHT DATE, KYRONE’S CORNER WAS FACED WITH EVEN MORE UNSETTLING NEWS THIS TIME AS WELL, HAVING TO RENEGOTIATE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH WHEN GARCIA WEIGHED IN ABOUT 5LBS OVER THE AGREED UPON WEIGHT LIMIT. FINALLY, THE FIGHT WAS MADE POSSIBLE ENDING IN A SPLIT DECISION AFTER 10 ROUNDS OF GARCIA BEING SIMPLY PICKED APART & OUT-CLASSED BY DAVIS.

SPEAKING WITH WRIGHT, GIVES A CLEAR INSIGHT AS TO WHERE HIS PASSION LIES & WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES.

SURELY THEY DON’T REALIZE THAT THIS MAN KNOCKING ON THE DOOR ISN’T TRYING TO SELL SOLAR PANELS BUT IN FACT IS LOOKING TO PROVIDE BENEFITS & OPPORTUNITIES TO PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. THAT IS WHY, NO MATTER HOW MANY HOUSEHOLDS HE GETS TURNED DOWN FROM, MALIK PUSHES FORWARD DAY AFTER DAY TO GET THE WORD OUT. ON TOP OF ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR, MALIK HAS SET UP MEETINGS WITH EDUCATORS, POTENTIAL SPONSORS, HEADS OF ORGANIZATIONS, & OTHER LEADERS WHO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO PITCH HIS PROPOSAL FOR BUILDING AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAKES THESE GIVEAWAYS BE ABLE TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY.
