Jade Smith

Inglewood, CA

Jade (she/her) is a holistic mama, yoga teacher, and mindfulness & meditation guide, supporting families in cultivating presence, connection, and intentional living. As a doula and community builder, she founded Earthseed Village as a return to ancestral ways of care, collectively raising children, and nurturing organic, community-rooted learning.

Project: Earthseed Village is a community based initiative devoted to reimagining what it means to raise and educate children in wrapped in community care. Inspired by ancestral traditions and the visionary work of Octavia Butler, Earthseed Village centers connection, interdependence, and intentional living as the foundation for family and community life.

Through daily gatherings, co-learning spaces, and nature-based programming, Earthseed Village creates opportunities for families to practice what we call “re-villaging”—an infrastructure of shared responsibility, knowledge, and care across generations. Earthseed Village affirms that children thrive when held in community, and that collective care is both a return to our roots and a pathway toward more liberated futures.
