Micah “Moringa” Ndiaye brings over a decade of experience working in youth development and nonprofit leadership to her role as Youth Engagement Manager at the Food Literacy Project. In this position, she supports the Youth Community Agriculture Program (YCAP), helping young people build leadership skills, confidence, and community through hands-on experiences with farming, food, and social change.
Micah’s work is grounded in mentorship, relationship-building, and equity. Whether working side-by-side with the crew in the soil, facilitating workshops, or co-creating learning experiences, she is creating an environment where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead with curiosity and compassion.
Micah is a proud graduate of Midway College with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. She was also recognized with the 2021 Young Professionals Award by the Young Professionals Association of Louisville (YPAL) for her commitment to community engagement and lifelong learning.
When she’s not at the farm, you can find her reading, roller skating, basking in the sun “like a lizard on a rock,” or spending time with her husband and daughter.
