In honor of month, Craftsmanship Quarterly is spotlighting some of our best stories on Black artisans and innovators.

Kelly Carlisle didn't start out as a farmer β€” or a social entrepreneur. After stints in the Navy, the corporate world, and then no job at all, she founded Oakland's Acta Non Verba, an urban garden education project designed to engage and inspire local youth. More than a decade later, her garden β€” and her vision β€” continue to grow.
