On October 9, 2023, Team Emancipate participated in a Plant and Sip event hosted by Bahr Jervay at Pedal to Petal, a local bike and plant shop in Raleigh. The team members were excited to learn about various types of plants, and they had the chance to get their hands dirty planting a Syngonium Strawberry Shortcake while unwinding from their busy schedule. Bahr, who is knowledgeable about all things natural, shared his expertise and passion for this stress-reducing activity with everyone present, making it an unforgettable experience for all.
