Episode Synopsis

In her 60s, Ajuntha Anwari got herself certified to teach women in their 50s to embrace and enjoy salads. Sometimes known as a "medicine woman" she is an advocate for raw vegetables and how it can heal the body. I had a great time talking to her about jamu and local vegetables that seem to be disappearing from our diets. She has persuaded me to visit Geylang Serai market and reacquaint myself with local herbs and vegetables. I admire Ajuntha for taking a path that would be unheard of 40 years ago but she persevered and never looked back after taking a horticulture diploma in her 30s. Her life journey has taken her through a number of trajectories and I am happy that she has found peace.#heroinesoftheirlives
