We had the good fortune of connecting with Pasha Angelle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Pasha, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk taking is a key element in my life’s lessons contributing to my success. “Believing in my future self “as I put it, came after 3years of hesitation to finally moved past fear. I stop asking people what they think took a risk that enabled me to achieve the confidence that I needed to come back to my own city and thrive; before I left Houston I felt I had a heavy weight, a cloud over my head after my transformation from taking the risk to leave … coming back to this city I am now on top of the dark clouds.

What should our readers know about your business?
Healing Den Farms grow Microgreens servicing the metropolitan area of Houston. We deliver to individuals restaurants markets you name it. Micro- greens are 40% more nutritious than full grown vegetables they’re easy to grow. What’s sets are micro green business apart from others is that we minority owned & also use special soil while adding additional nutrients to our soil. I work with a nationally sought after soil and plant scientist so our farm is on the main line of information on current farm advancements. I am most proud to make growing & consuming microgreens trendy and popular contributing to the health of the community. Business wise I have been a serial entrepreneur for 12 years learning many lessons in business I’ve always wanted to farm… growing on acres of farm land was a lot of work for me to do. I found a more efficient way to farm that could cut down on labor time and quality control; with a vertical farm we are able to not take so many losses because of the ease of microgreens. With the trial and error of different projects I learned the basics of building a business to the point where it doesn’t feel like as difficult in certain areas. I overcame the challenges by knowing I could, when I started changing the way I thought then my business confidence grew I’ve learned that anything that you put the work in towards consistently without hesitation will bloom.  Make sure that’s what you really want Also because it looks perfect in your mind doesn’t mean it matches up with your heart. I want the world to know that when you give the world gives back to you. So why not give the world something original some thing that has your passion attached to it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my friends are visiting then it would be to attend local playhouse  Or Vincent Victoria productions at the Midtown arts center we would probably go to the garden and pick fresh veggies if they had children I would take them to Cidercade or Axelrad to listen to some nice music and lay back in the hammocks there’s always Sylvia beach that’s not far for a little fun in the sun not to mention the Shape Center a great place to eat and learn of the culture it would depend on their taste “The vegan Green seed” has great smoothies “Sunshine‘s” have great vegan food. I would also take them to some local farmers markets on Saturdays great vendors.
