“Just Try It” is Rosalind Brooks’ life motto. This week, we met up with this Southern Nevada trailblazer who is motivating the community to get outside and be the healthiest version of themselves.

Roz’s passion of teaching nutrition motivated her to start the Veggie Buck Truck in partnership with the Southern Nevada Health District. The pop-up market has been featured at the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) to help increase access to low-cost fresh fruits and vegetables in downtown Las Vegas. Customers are able to purchase fresh produce starting at only $1 per pound.

Her community involvement doesn’t end there. Her nonprofit organization, Together We Can, offers other amazing community programs that you can be a part of, such as Blacks in Nature (BIN). BIN is an organization that creates accessible outdoor experiences for people of color just about anywhere that there are open skies above.

“I created this group to encourage my community to TRY SOMETHING NEW. Nature provides experiences and memories that your family will never forget,” shares Roz on BIN’s website.
