Making America Healthy Again: A Conversation with Niccqueta Varmall

What does it take to transform America's health? According to wellness humanitarian Niccqueta Varmall, it requires moving away from individualism toward collective action focused on natural healing traditions.

Drawing from her Creole heritage, Niccqueta shares how watching her mother prepare healing teas and remedies for neighbors shaped her understanding of wellness as community service. This foundation ultimately led her to transition from law enforcement to what she playfully calls "policing the garden" — protecting and nurturing plants that heal the human body.

The heart of our conversation revolves around her groundbreaking Project 100 initiative — a vision for a 100-acre wellness ecosystem where practitioners from various healing disciplines create a collaborative community. Rather than struggling to find authentic wellness resources scattered across different locations, visitors would access a curated network of healers, each with their own "pod" but functioning as part of an interconnected whole.

Niccqueta's approach challenges modern wellness paradigms by emphasizing traditional wisdom, transparency about food sources, and personal accountability for health. Her powerful metaphor of treating our bodies like rental cars that must be returned in good condition serves as a wake-up call about our responsibility to our physical temples.

For wellness practitioners already doing meaningful work, Project 100 offers an opportunity to amplify their impact by joining forces with like-minded healers. The initiative isn't just about individual health journeys but about collectively "Making America Healthy Again" through community-based solutions.

Let's get out of the individualism and let's all come together for one purpose making America healthy again. Just drink to the moon.

Speaker 2: 0:47

Just drink to the moon. Welcome back to another episode of Experiencing Amazing Transformations. Guys, welcome all of you, beautiful souls. You're just tuning in to a conversation that's about to water your spirit and plant some seeds of purpose in your life is meaningful. What Ms Nikita has is more valuable than anything that you can ever imagine. She is a humanitarian wellness expert. I call. The things that she says blows my mind and it enlightens me, and I truly want you to take captive for what she's saying, take something in and learn, grow. She even has a project that she's starting that she's going to discuss with us and hopefully it will enlighten you and intrigue you enough to want to know more. Welcome to the show, miss nikita varmint.

Speaker 1: 1:54

Thank you I am so excited to be here and this day is extremely, truly special y'all. They is extremely, truly special y'all. It's so special because I could not have planned it perfectly. Uh, sakalia and I've been texting backwards and forward about me coming and one day I just absolutely absent-mindedly missed it. But anyway, y'all is special because this is all for y'all. This is all for y'all.

Speaker 1: 2:21

Um, as a wellness humanitarian like I mean, I am one, but like Kimberly had basically stated, is that it's for the people, I am all about the humans. Now, I do love animals, we're all. I don't have none at home. They're all around my little garden and stuff, but they're just visiting and going about their business. But anyway, it's all for you, it's all for you. And but anyway, it's all for you, it's all for you. And that's what it's all about is true service. And, first of all, you know, everything that I do, I do as unto the Lord, and if I'm serving you all as unto the Lord, if I greet you, I'm going to greet you with a smile, I'm going to greet you and you're going to get healed.

Speaker 2: 3:03

Whether or not you ask for it or not but I'm just happy to be here, yes, yes.

Speaker 3: 3:15

So before we just jump right into questions, um, we do know that you plant seeds. I'll call you the seed lady, because you gave me some seeds and I've just been excited to watch them grow. So I do have a question, just to break the ice. So if hope were an actual plant in your garden, what kind of plant do you imagine it would be, and why?

Speaker 1: 3:36

oh, that one y'all. It would be a plant that you truly can go up to, and when you ingest it, you're going to immediately become well, and when I say well, you're going to know exactly what it is that you want, because we're in a world where so many people tell you what you're supposed to want, but you're going to know exactly what you want and what you're supposed to do. So this plant of hope is actually the purpose plant, the purpose of my life plan. So I would definitely grow that and I won't want everybody to have it so tell us a little bit about being the founder of Dear Earth Wellness.

Speaker 1: 4:27

Dear Earth has always been part of me because I'm French, a Creole French, born and raised. That Thank God for my mother. She spoke it fluent but we, literally we, couldn't speak it. I spoke it up until I was five years old, y'all. But I could understand her because I had spoken with her and when she couldn't find a word, she was throwing stuff and everything was do, do, do, do of the earth. That's what do mean. Do means of. I want everything to come from the earth and if I put anything into it it's going to be of the earth. I don't want to add anything in that's extra of me and that's only because God gave us this. Genesis 1 and 29 will tell you that and he said everything you know that's from the earth. You know everything. I've seen Everything. It's good for the body.

Speaker 3: 5:29

It is.

Speaker 1: 5:30

For health. So how long have you been on this journey? I would say for 11 years. Seriously, Okay, the previous times it would only be when I got sick.

Speaker 3: 5:43

Only when I got sick.

Speaker 1: 5:45

Only when I got sick, my mother died in 2007, so I will use her like the doctor. Oh, mama, I got a stomach ache. Mama, my head hurt. Mama, you know I got this pain and she would be like well, come on, I got something for you. I never asked what it was and she would just say drank this. And I would drink it. She would give you the teaspoon of honey first, because she would never mix honey or sugar or anything in the concoction, really.

Speaker 1: 6:12

So the honey I, I believe, was the one that actually did, because when some of the stuff that you drank it was extremely bitter, very, very um, I mean you did not want it to be a part of your mouth. I mean you didn't even want to smell it. I used to sometimes do that and even to this day I'd still do the teaspoon of honey. Okay, before I, before I, drank something that I know that have, uh, the roots and stuff in it that you don't need it every day. Because, as far as the stomachache, I don't know the last time I had one it's in one of them journals Probably back probably five years ago. I'm serious y'all, because I tried, if I do eat something that I'm not supposed to my body tell me, don't you eat that the spirit will come forward. But I immediately know oh, I'm going home and I'm about to drink this concoction. And once I drank it, it my stomach is well so what got you on this mission?

Speaker 2: 7:25

to help other people.

Speaker 1: 7:27

When I figured out that I could help myself. It was other people that were still coming to me, because when they had found out that I was dabbling and growing the little herbs just in pots, I didn't immediately start throwing it into the ground or anything. It was when people were beginning to trust me to make them the blends and now they had to unball it. When I knew that it really can help a person, I was like, uh-uh, I have to do this here for others. This, this is not just for me. It wasn't just for me because, uh, the the herbs are growing masses and it grows very fast. They call it evasive, invasive invasive plants. Yeah, no, that's meaning. That is, I got to give it to everybody. You got to grow this stuff yourself Like okra Baby.

Speaker 1: 8:21

If y'all look up that okra, I gave okra seeds out. You drink okra water or just eat the okra plant you heal. Did y'all hear that? Plant those okra seeds. Y'all can be playing with that if y'all want. Look, just throw it in the dirt. Y'all don't even have to do too much, y'all can do the rest. He said if you plant the seed, I'm going to water it, I'm going to give it the sun that it needs. Y'all have to stand there and blow on it. No Girl, plant that seed and walk away.

Speaker 3: 8:54

That's it. That's it. How has transitioning from a police officer over to wellness now has that been a challenge? Or back then, how big of a?

Speaker 1: 9:06

challenge, was it? It's a difference because I'm still policing, but I'm policing the garden now and it's the true, it's the community policing because my babies, they're waiting on me. That's my community. Yeah, I get to talk with them, I give them treats and I tell them I'm going to protect them. You know they're protected from the animals. I don't let stuff just go and bite up on them and the bugs on there. I tell the bugs where to go. Uh, you don't kill it because we need that, you know. So I don't have to have a gun. I do be having a shovel now, y'all, because they have some stuff you got to just pop on the head.

Speaker 1: 9:48

The transition was pretty easy because I can't say that I just ate unwell, okay it more. It was more mental. Okay, yeah, it was more mental. Post traumatic stress, seeing a lot of stuff day by day by day by day. If you see a lot of murders and or I didn't see the murders happening, but I saw the murder victims yeah, uh, you keep seeing that and you keep hearing crying all throughout the day uh, situations, they can affect you, but I was able to get that reset every day because of the new mercies that God gives to you.

Speaker 2: 10:22

Do you believe that your upbringing, your background, your Creole heritage kind of shaped you into this wellness humanitarian that you are Like? I want to give back, I want to see change, like you think that's always been in you.

Speaker 1: 10:39

you think that was like shaped it was, and it was because of what I watched growing up. Um, sometimes that your environment is key uh, not in all cases, but in my case my mama was it. She basically raised me in a church, I raised up Catholic. She was always an auxiliary woman. She was always a food woman because, guess what, she didn't trust nobody with no food and that's what she had done as an auxiliary. She was on the food committee and if they saw my mama in the kitchen and she had me with my little apron on too and she would be like they're only going to get a little piece of cake, don't give them no, two piece, don't do that, you know. And I'm like, okay, yeah, she had everything rolling. So, seeing her serve, and then everybody coming to the house, everybody was looking for that tea, they knew it, they knew it. And if somebody died cause we lived in the house and development the mouth of mean baby, I'm third wall soldier.

Speaker 3: 11:40

But it is yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 11:45

So, anyway, um, if somebody got killed and, um, like a, a mother lost her son, it would be like they, um, she'll make him a pot of tea and she called it the grief tea. The grief tea. If you smelled a certain smell, you knew that it was coming over to the house. Because you're here on the phone and she's like well, baby, just come on over here and we're and come and sit a spell. That was her thing, come and sit a spell. And she was the kitchen table would get clear, because we was always doing some kind of prepping work. Um, because she had a six foot long, deep freeze and either she had to dry them, herbs in the oven. Yeah, because people would bring her like bags of stuff. Yeah, girl, when I used to see them collard green bunches coming, oh, oh, y'all, it was delicious, but at the same time it was work. It was work. You know what I'm saying the people that what I'm saying, we'll work for food.

Speaker 1: 12:42

Baby, that lady made you what. You were cutting up onions, you were peeling shrimp, you were doing something. Yes, I don't care if you were two years old, you do would go look if your left finger, she said, if your left fingers can do this here and do that there, you can pull them things off of there. And it was funny then and I didn't know that my mom was really helping people. So that's where it basically came from. I saw her do that and it was a healing in a different way. Yeah, because then you're in the housing development. You know you hear gunshots and stuff like that. You just hit the floor. Yeah, um, you know, you just knew what to do. Nobody messed with miss florin and she fed. She always was feeding people.

Speaker 3: 13:29

So let's dive into this, this project. Let's talk about it. Let's talk. I won't say nothing. I'm gonna let you all right, y'all.

Speaker 1: 13:36

Project 100 um, this is the debut. This is the exclusive right here. Right here. Project 100 is all about a wellness ecosystem community, and these are wellness industry leaders. These are people that are extremely passionate about what they do and they want people well. Now, they do want to make some money too, but we're going to take care of all of that.

Speaker 1: 14:02

But if you become part of this ecosystem and this is an ecosystem where we're helping others we want to make america healthy again from our initiative. Look, we ain't about to complain about everything. We're about to do our part. So we need all of the wellness people to come together. And where are we going to get? On 100 acres of land, and we're going to construct some uh, little, tiny little spaces where the individuals can come and stay and we can go and administer what we do separately, like, say, for instance, if you're going to a vegan chef and she'll have her set up right and you'll go there, but then she'll be like, well, you're only going to spend this time with me, but I have this, this and this. This is a list of things that you can also do, and it's all dealing with wellness and it's all within the same community. All of the clutter is gone and you're not going to have any question about it. The only decision you're going to have to make is what do I want to do today according to my wellness, because I want to take care of my temple. So I need those wellness industry leaders to step forward.

Speaker 1: 15:14

And these are authors you know. You write in books that are dealing with helping people through their traumas, helping people to realize becoming unstuck, uh, things like that. So becoming unstuck would have their own little uh pod and where you can go in there and, baby, go and get unstuck. That's it, because it means just that. Because if you follow through with what it's saying, then and it's dripped, it's not something, it's not a one and done y'all, um, now some herbs and stuff.

Speaker 1: 15:43

Once you begin to understand and know that you can walk and eat off of trees you don't even really have to wash it when you can walk and you can get a drink of juice, you know, um, you can walk. And then, oh, there's a, a place where you can grab some fresh bread that's only made with three ingredients. You know, and you're gonna see the face of the individual. Now they may not be there, but you're going to see their face that they created it. They may have a hundred of those um pods in different areas, but you're going to know who it was that started it.

Speaker 3: 16:26

Every time you talk about, I get excited because I can see it like I see it and I'm excited for it the visualization, y'all.

Speaker 1: 16:36

Um, I was just sharing with them that I didn't eat anything. I drove here, I drove an hour here and, y'all, every place that I looked to even get something to eat, I was like, no, can't eat there nothing, and I'm not compromising. I'm not at a point in my life where I want to compromise what I'm putting inside of my body. So, with that, I just opted to just get some water. Y'all, I had no choice. I really did not. They have all of these coffee shops that have opened, all of these dessert places that are just baking using what? Okay, where they going at? Y'all seeing the wheat fields around here they're making flour. Guess what? I grew some wheat, yes, what? Yes, there's a wheat farmer in Bradley, arkansas. You can get stone mill ground stuff. Yes, you don't have to buy that, and it was eight dollars for the for the big pack. What?

Speaker 1: 17:42

take me with you we got to get our wellness people in place. Make sure that all of your ingredients lists are coming from farmers, because there are people that are growing stuff but we have to look for. We have to search that stuff but we have to look for, we have to search, just like we have to search for our righteousness. Yes, if you just try to go and get it somewhere out the store, no, it's not on the shelf, it's not. You have to search for that yes, you do.

Speaker 1: 18:10

You find it on the shelf and where you gonna find that in New York and you personal development, personal development, personal development. Read about yourself. Become unstuck with a group of people. Don't do that by yourself, right, because if you're sitting there some other stuff gonna start creeping in. But if you're doing it with a group, somebody can speak life into you and serve you life. But go ahead. No, you go ahead that was your floor.

Speaker 1: 18:47

I think we should literally become more diligent with taking care of this temple Y'all. It's like a runner call. Now you know good or well, you're going to turn that call back in with the right gas in it, Clean temple y'all. It's like a rental car. Now you know good and well you're gonna turn that car back in with the right gas and clean and look you parking it like miles away. You don't want nobody to did it up scratching us, that's it. That's it this is. This is a temple just like a rental car. Return it back like it's supposed to be turned in. And that's meaning that I'm going to police this body just like I would police and want to turn in that rental car right.

Speaker 2: 19:22

This project is for us, Gen Z. Who are we Millennials, Gen Z? All of us that really want to unwind and unplug and actually get back to what God created for us. And right now, that's who is going to help. But right now we need your help. You're passionate about what you're doing. That is natural. You're passionate about what you're doing that will help the community. You're passionate about helping yourself and your family. We're looking for you. We're looking for you. Reach out to Miss Nikita and just let her know what you do. Let her know that you're interested in doing something that will help broaden our community, that would help us live longer. Y'all, we're doing everything so quick and so fast lately, and we're just existing. We're just existing because we have to do. But what are you going to do with intention? And if you're passionate about it, we want to hear from you. Ms Nikita has so much wisdom and so much guidance that she can give and bring to our community. Let's help grow it.

Speaker 1: 20:38

Oh, I love that. I love that. That is perfect. That is perfect because it's a plea, not a. The one thing I want to correct is that y'all can contact them too, cause they're part of the committee. We will be announcing this very soon. Just give us some time.

Speaker 1: 20:54

Um, because this is not an easy feat. Uh, cause I'm looking for people that are actually on the ground. They already doing the work, but and they, they basically had thought the work was a little small, but this is, this is huge work that they're doing. Y'all, um, and what we're basically doing is we want to keep it as local as possible, but this will be opening up for individuals. There's someone that's from Shreveport, that lives way in Austin that's part of this and she said, like, if I have to move out that way, I said no, no, no, as long as you got some room, tip.

Speaker 1: 21:32

Um, it's for this area and it's only because we want to um, do what, do our part to help. Now, you don't have to move there. You literally, uh, because this is a non-profit and it's for everyone else. But you're going to come, you're going to set up, you're going to be designing your own space, you're going to know your neighbors. You're going to know all hundred of the people, you're going to know them, and these are people that you can utilize. I'm talking bartering systems, I'm talking an ecosystem that you'll know. That is there Because we're going to have it all, because y'all have it.

Speaker 3: 22:12

It was such an honor having you on. It was such an honor. Is there one thing you would like to say to the followers before we close this?

Speaker 1: 22:24

It's time. It's time Y'all know that self-sufficiency. I got to take care of me. I have to take care of me. It's community, community. We need everybody to come together as one and then you can still go out and do whatever you want to do. You can travel wherever you want to travel. You will not. All of this is this is a non-profit, it's a separate entity, but you're bringing your wellness Entity there. So all I'm just saying is let's get out of the Individualism and let's all come together For one purpose Making America healthy again. Thank, you.
