Quontay Turner also known as "Q", is a multi-talented creative and entrepreneur from Mattapan and the owner of Emerald City Plant Shop, New England’s first Black Owned plant shop and community space.
She has over ten years of experience in community organizing, event management, recruiting, and facilitating conversations and trainings around diversity, equity, and inclusion.
From admissions recruitment, to becoming a baker, and running a viral online shop, she transitioned to starting her own plant shop In 2020 and found there was a huge demand for plants, knowledge on the care and keeping, but also folks looking for more community. The shop has since become a hub for workshops, events, and collaboration.
I hope you enjoy this episode and visit the shop in Norwood, MA!
