The Phoenix Legacy House
Love Your Land Community Clean-ups with Illumined Alchemy
Join us on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for a powerful Pre-MLK, Jr. day of service, healing, and connection. The Phoenix Legacy House is proud to partner with Illumined Alchemy for Love Your Land: Community Clean-Up Day, a grassroots effort to restore and uplift West Franklin Street (between North Fulton Ave and North Gilmore Street).
This event is more than litter removal—it’s a celebration of regenerative care, community resilience, and environmental stewardship. All ages and abilities are welcome. Please dress warmly and bring gloves. Light snacks and drinks will be provided, and service-learning hours are available.
Illumined Alchemy, founded by Diamond Burnett, is a transformative space where seasonal wisdom, plant consciousness, and earth-honoring practices support deep healing and ecological awareness. Through handcrafted herbal companions and attunement rituals, Illumined Alchemy nurtures physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
The Phoenix Legacy House is a Black-led, female-led regenerative initiative rooted in love, land stewardship, and BIPOC empowerment. We cultivate community through seed distribution, lot restoration, and meaningful connections in agriculture and sustainability. Our vision is to grow a legacy of earth stewardship and education that nourishes generations to come.
Let’s lend a hand and love our land—together.
The Phoenix House
The Phoenix House is a family of a single mother and her six children. Ramona, known as The Phoenix in gaming communities, is the matriarch of the Phoenix House. The other members are Diamond, Taylor, Solomon, Carmen, Angelia, and Josiah. Together the family decided to create their own legacy. They started with their shared values and then made it official in 2020 with the creation of a family crest and coat of arms. The crest is a rising phoenix. The Coat of Arms consist of a banner with two Latin phrases. On the top banner it's written Mollitiam which means resilience. The family has shown true resilience in the face of several challenges through the years including, but not limited to, domestic violence and homelessness. The bottom banner states, Incrementum Questae which means growth mindset. In order to overcome challenges and be the best they can be, they decided to develop a growth mindset where they will always move forward, think positive and try their best. Two alicorns hold up the shield which bares the family symbols of art, acting, creatures of flight, and plant life. The family consists of many talented members, artists, content creators, actors, producers, musicians, and poets. The family tends to adore winged creatures such as butterflies, moths, and chickens. They also currently lives in "Birdtown" Baltimore, Md. Lastly plants, horticulture, agriculture and anything natrure related is a passion of many of the members of the Phoenix House. After consideration of which symbols best fit their talents and values, they decided on the one shown on the Coat of Arms.
Stockton Street Lot
We began stewarding this lot in April 2023. We discovered that the lot has been a dumping ground for a railroad for some time. They have dumped tons of asphalt and it all needs to be discarded and the soil remediated before a beautiful garden can emerge.
Phoenix House Publishing
The Phoenix House has been blessed with a few gifted writers and poets. Here are the published works of those artist beginning with one short story by our matriarch's father. Stay tuned!
