Sakereh Maskal is a Certified Permaculture Designer, a graduate of the School of the Sacred Wild Apprenticeship, a GAIA Sacred Plant Medicine Apprentice, and digital artist.

As a Black Earth Intuitive, she found deep solace in natural spaces. And yet, as a Black woman, she often found those same spaces challenging to navigate, from experiences of racism outdoors, to a lack of Black representation in professional environmental and conservation spaces, to the broader absence of Afrocentric ecological thought.

Through her creative work, she helps Black individuals rediscover their sacred connection to the Earth, rooted in Afrocentric wisdom and Afroecology. In doing so, she offers the opportunity to experience the Earth's deep, unconditional love so often missing in society at large.

Midiri Reciprocity’s mission is to restore the African diaspora's sacred connection to the Earth through Afrocentric permaculture design, land education, and plant spirit medicine. We cultivate deep, reciprocal care with Mother Earth, our oldest relative — reclaiming an Earth-centered heritage as one of kin, not conquest. We offer our love, our labor, and our medicine back to the Earth, the way roots return to soil, and rain returns to river.
