Dreka is such an amazing role model. She has the money to do whatever she wants basically and to see her farming, bee keeping, gardening, etc.. is so refreshing to see! 💖
Yes she's surely a role model. 👏🏾
I love her ways shes someone to look up too a great smart and beautiful woman
Yeah plus she his manager
Katie Caudle amen 🙏🏾 on all you said👏🏾👏🏾
People really think that getting all these degrees is the answer..NO‼️ Its NOT! Becoming in tune with yourself, is the answer, the reason for your being🙌🏾
@Layla Cartelina 💯
That's right queen the most high God alone says study to shew thy self approve 🙌🏾 👏🏾 🙏🏾
Tf are you talking about?
@@Peace2dagawdz the girls that get GET IT and the girls that don't DONT
Nahh sis we need people with them degrees as well
One thing I like about planting plants is it gives you a chance to reflect on life in order to become a better person.
If you ever decided to do a women’s harvest retreat, I would pay for a moment of peace.. I have my own RV
Yesssssss
Wow! You're definitely living the dream already ✨
Wow, so lucky! I want an RV!
I definitely cried tears of joy watching this video. As someone who grew up in the city, I would travel to Alabama every year for “May 28th” (when the slaves became free in that town) and I always loved it! There isn’t anywhere I have ever been in this world still that I have felt more at peace. My great grandmother still lives there. She’s 104 years old now!
Kevin is so blessed to have found such a beautiful spirit like her
Anybody energy just instantly strikes like a star when they get a notification Dreka posted a new video 😩 I just love her spirit and energy so much❤️
Yess I love dreka
Same!
Yess
Same here!🤎🤎
Sis I dream of her 😭🤍 the energy so real and sacred ✨
I’m literally in tears and have the chills !! This wasn’t just about creating this masterpiece of a healthier lifestyle, it was the journey & evolution of YOU & celebrating us women. I NEEDED more. Us women don’t always get that reassurance of the power we hold. I thank you & I received this. 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Omg same sameeeee!!!🥺💕
God gave us everything that's alive green
I understand everything she’s saying, I wasn’t really into nature a lot but after losing my mom being on a lake near water or just sitting outside on my porch took so much off my mind and at the same time gave me comfort and meaning, but my mom use to sit on her porch all the time 😔 and the chair she sat in I have it now and it’s been almost seven years since she’s been gone now I see why she sat on her porch and she also use to go to the lake and sit, crazy how you end up doing things only to realize later why 😔 and for the past few years I’ve really wanted to get into gardening 😊 I’m here to tell anybody nature is Peace and it’s also healing I promise ❤️ can’t wait to see everything when she’s done I know it’s going to be Beautiful ❤️
I tuned in with nature after losing a baby from miscarriage. I just kind of became Mother Earth , maternal.
It is peaceful !!!
Yeeesssss Nature is very much so peace.
My condolences 🌼
❤️
This whole process has been so beautiful 💯🤩
The depth of their conversation was soo intriguing I totally understand WE ARE MAGIC ✨
I would love to have a garden like this. This pandemic has really opened my eyes. We all need to be able to sustain ourselves and our families.
So true
I felt her homegirl when she said "I glad I'm open enough to understand". To be on the receiving end is beautiful. (w/ego absent.) Complete validation.. that part😏
I jus love we keep not only getting more videos uploaded quickly but they're longer too! Spoiling us. Thanks Dreka! We 💚 you...
Lol I'm trying! Thank you for watching! 🌬❤️
@@DrekaGatesTv you're doing great! Keep it up! You have my full support! Now I'm jus happy/surprised getting a direct response so u jus made my night! Thank you!😍😍😍
Yasssss to her speaking about the sun helping your mood. It's scientific and factual.... I did it today and instantly felt rejuvenated; it helps 💯😁
I'm from Mississippi and when I was little my grandfather made us participate in the farm chores and it was so fun. Living off the land was how he raised his children and grandchildren. It was a sin in our family to hit a deer or rabbit and NOT put them in your trunk to eat later.
Mississippi Is Forever Home For Me. The World Look At Mississippi As Being A Bad Place Because Of Racial & Prejudice Reasons But Certain Parts Of Mississippi Is So Beautiful & Peaceful. When Our Ancestors Purchased Land Of Their Own To Raise Their Children & Their Children Raised Their Children Until We We Brought into the Picture some Of Us Had The Privilege of Experiencing The Beauty Of Being On That Land And Cherishing Every moment Of It. That’s usually why some people go back because it brings so much peace and high vibrations. I’m a forever mississippi country girl.
This needs to be a reality show. I can watch this all day, maybe because I grew up in the country 👍🏾😍
You come alive every episode, Dreka and Ivy dropping gems for gardening, love to see it!
Never clicked so fast!! I’m ready to be inspired 🙏🏾
Shelling beans is one of the best memories I have of my grandparents. As well as picking pecans around their land. Bless the elders that taught us the way and those that refuse to let it die. 🌱
She’s so not lying about the sun, I have Covid & has been in the house but on yesterday I crawled to my back door & the porch & sat outside in a chair for 2hours. I feel so much better today & another thing the part about the great energy being put into what’s grown is a BIG factor, it’s a great feeling when it’s grown/raised spiritually positive natural. BIG DIFFERENCE. Last thing patience is key to gardening💯
@@kayyb thanks a lot, I’m getting better
“It’s beautiful on the other side.”
Indeed it is Dreka ... indeed it is ✨
Dreakas mom brought it home at the end. This, what Dreaka is building and how she’s doing soul work is the blueprint for our people.
Dang I just want Dreka to be happy she has the most beautiful smile stay strong Queen.
You had me emotional in this video! I’m staying in the city limits of my town now and I HATE it. Like you said it’s cool being close to shops, but my kids have nowhere to play. They literally play in a non busy area of our parking lot. Being inside affects out moods. I’ve noticed when we’re inside for a couple of days we’re going at each other’s necks, but once I realize what’s happening, we go outside a feel that sunlight and we’re straight. I can’t wait to move.
I don’t even like outdoors but Dreka’s spirit is so infectious! 🥰🤷🏽♀️
You are so right. I don’t even listen to rap music, but because of her, I know who her husband is now
What don’t you like about outside ?
And to the 10 people that disliked this video. I pray u can find your PEACE from within 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Immediately clicked the link👀🥰... Maaaan, I love this woman's spirit!
#Grow&RaiseYourOwn #LandOwnership
Growing your own food is self-sufficiency in motion! Peace & Luv & positive vibes to the Gates Family ✌️🏿💚
I’m incredibly inspired. US women are so powerful!!! My dream of owning 50 acres & harvesting for myself and others is possible. Money is only a resource to make this possible yet is not the only way. God, Universe, and MY honorable ancestors known & unknown hear me. And so it is. Asé
Asé💜
Dreka is such a beautiful soul! God created everything we need to heal ourselves on this Earth. xo
I can not wait to see the ending of her garden❤️ I know it’s going to be beautiful 💖💖💖
I found this channel today and watched EVERY SINGLE VIDEO!! Very inspiring Woman 🌹
Same..today..every single video
When that man said Bouge
Chitto river, I almost fell outta my damned chair!!!
Omg Drekka , That's where I'm from!!!
Just found this channel recently and didnt even know who you were, until my grown kids told me!
Your in a wonderful area, it's very good for gardening.
I grew up in washington parish, that river is beautiful
We floated' that thing, the best times of our lives!!!
I love the garden videos
And wish your family all the best
I’m a city lady born and raised. When I retired and moved to Florida into my first house that’s when I fell in love with gardening. There is a documentary The Biggest little Farm that you should watch. Keep up the great work!!!
ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH
I respect dreka being solid wife for my boy Kevin you definitely got the power over him 😁
As an adolescent I remember going to the trees to communicate with mother nature. I realized that the smaller branches were on top and the larger branches lifted them up. It was like my ancestors were reminding me that now is my time. Tears of joy and understanding! The elements communicate with us if we just take time to listen.
God is a woman! Mother Earth is we and we are she! I absolutely love this!
I have just recently found this video in 2024 and at first I wasn’t sure if posting a comment would make a difference. But I begin to reminisce on my childhood memories of my grandmothers residence playing outside in nature. This brought me to tears knowing how much I miss and love being out in nature. The property is now ruined because of her mental illness. So sad 😞 that she got rid of all the fruit trees such as peaches, cherries,raspberries apricots,plums,kumquats which were my favorite fruit. And she had a fig tree which was her favorite fruit. And she also had walnut tree that was my grandpa’s favorite tree. I also remember this particular peacock would come and eat the walnuts from the tree. These were great memories for me growing up and playing out in yard catching butterflies,bees, dragonflies and other insects like ladybugs which were my favorite thing to do. Watching this video makes me appreciate the value of living on earth. I am praying 🙏🏾 that I will make another experience of living in true love and beauty in this lifetime. Thank you Dreka for posting this video when you did.
OMG I'm glad I found this channel 🤔I lost my mom and dad in a year and nine months apart, and I'm so lost and sad💔my parents left me there home and land that my dad than a garden every year,I see my future now! Thanks for this beautiful video,God bless you 🙏
So cleansing. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you Dreka~

I've loved Dreka from the beginning. Her energy just always felt right. But now, I love her even more. Thank you for inspiring people and most of all just being yourself. What a beautiful woman you are. Keep up the great work. Love from TX ❤💙
I just love this woman. She’s so inspiring and vibrant. I’m so happy for her.
LISTEN Dreka really should've been my best friend lol we would've been life long friends REAL friends because these are my kind people frfr Her and Kevin too real and amazing 💯
Wish more women exerted energy like dreka man she's so pure in her own universe
I’m so excited about your raised flower beds.I have room for 7 in my backyard and I am now motivated to go get the wood for them. Today we planted Sunflowers because we heard they treat the soil.
All these farmer men be happy AF when they're talking to Dreka lol I don't blame them though, sis is definitely dope and beautiful!
Lol they sure do😂😂
I love that your taking us on this journey with you. Kevin must be so proud ☺️☺️☺️ GOOD JOB🤙🏾
Those of us who have the memories of eating from the earth and being in the south living off the land running wild with your cousins.. and learning about the how to keep our families and communities full and safe; from ur grandparents and those of us who are blessed to have experienced their great grand parents!! Pass it on💯
I grew up like this with my great grandmother...she taught me so much and I appreciate seeing Dreka connect with earth and understand the essence of life and grounding with her family...amazing.
You give so much empowerment and wisdom and just regular conversation, and that’s a very admirable trait. I love how you empower women and let it be know we are magical and strong ❤️
Dreka out here living my best life 😉
Shalom,
All Praises to The Most High
My beautiful sisters, Daughters of Zion; I love the program...
Just be wary of Esua on you lands
Dreka, you are my absolute inspiration. I watch your videos during my 9-5 work shift and you make me feel like I’m not so stuck. Living in the south can make you feel like that. I’m from louisiana too, born & raised. Watching you maximize your life, your happiness, your garden, your family, and most of all, your peace & purpose, makes me want to learn & grow with you as well. I love everything you’re doing sis. Alllll of it
Back to back, spoiling the world 💚💚💚
Drek was out there having a lil conversation with the lil neighbors
I hope be able to have something like this one day when I start my family
You all have me cheesing. Its a whole vibe and just imagine this vibe is a more than just a moment...its a lifestyle! May God cover you 🗣
Dreka keep breaking barriers you are a goddess hands down
Energy is everything⚡️♥️
Love you Dreka from Maryland🙂 Keep pushing sis.
I cry watching your videos just knowing one day i will too live this dream with my children.
I agree with dreka with loving to stay outside, as a kid and till now I love to be outside it feels like home.
Yes, women are walking portals that bring life into everything. Holding a space for someone is also a powerful way to allow someone to release things that are holding them back and you hold them in a space of LOVE, INTEGRITY, HEALTH, ABUNDANCE or what ever they are wishing to accomplish as far as their dreams....When you create that space its a boomerang that comes back and propels you into a new space as well. God has a way of increase showing up without you asking by just honoring those you come in contact with who may not be strong at this time in their life.
It wasn't until we moved from California that I actually cut my own grass and planted a garden and really enjoyed the outdoors. Such a full life when you see what you can do with nature.
Dreka you have wonderful energy. Thank you 🙏🏾💙
Keep being free Dreka! Thank you for the knowledge.
“We ate that deer “ 😭😭😭😂😂 we love you Dreka ❤️ thank you & your editing team for these videos !!!
Loved the perspective in this vlog. I been praying on better things for my family's future and just hearing you talk about honing into that feminine power assured my mind to listen to my heart. Thank you ♥️
I just love everything about this ❤
Her childhood memories remind me of mine with my grandmother. I’m so grateful for growing up in the south 🥰
I can watch this all day it’s so inspiring.
I swear 💕
Mrs. Dreka I think it’s wonderful that you are growing your own food for your family I love gardening it’s my peace and it’s therapeutic. Stay blessed 🌱🖤
I absolutely love this video‼️❤️‼️ So much information and wisdom being poured out( I miss meaningful conversation like this 😩) It’s a beautiful feeling realizing we where already blessed with what we need to survive I feel at peace as well ☺️ and your so right it’s very therapeutic I’ll talk to Yashuah and meditate then feel the wind blow or get visitors like birds and bees I too take that as sign❤️ let’s get back to our ROOTS …OUR HOME 🙌🏽❤️
Also can’t wait to see it come together so excited for your personal Garden or Edan….. I guess
I am so excited to see how Dreka’s garden 🪴 turns out😍 I am so happy for her and inspired by her 😌💯
Ivy is equally as amazing as Dreka they are both Green goddesses. 🌱
I'm so in love with her channel and vlogs. Can I just help around the farm and garden lol 😆
I know right 🙏
I swear I was thinking the same thing!
This is DOPE. I can't wait for me to find my happy place. Now that I am older I hate living in the city. I love watching your videos I get a sense of peace. 🙏
Where u currently live
So beautiful I've been on my spiritual journey "awakened" about 4 yrs now and I absolutely love the fact that you are sharing parts of your journey I'm learning so much and it feels so amazing to resonate with someone who understands thank you💫🦋🌱🌟🌕💛
You definitely got the right neighbor. Big shout out to the family, im building raised beds today and rottweiler housings. I started with chickens and now turkeys, peacocks, and cattle later. Farming is fun and Neverending work. #FAMILY Dont forget elderberry plants
Dreaka I need more of this more of your guidance and spiritual advice like I could listen to you go on and on about women about our senses is being creatures of life I mean literally everything you speak about I need more of PLEASE
Holding space is another form of empathy and emotional intelligence
I learned something watching this. Planting flowers around your veggies and fruits attracts pollination. I love growing marigolds from seed. I will now place them in my veggie garden bed! 🤍
I love you Dreka from Mccomb
I really enjoy watching this whole process of your family making its own Utopia. Hun you have such a beautiful soul 🌻.The knowledge, love, and light you share with everyone is so amazing and you give such good encouragement to all of us going thru our spiritual journey.🧘🏻♀️🌱🦋💜
So beautiful! My daughter used to be like that. Just running around gardening with me and she never had clothes on. I have 3 girls and I love them so much but my youngest and I have such a different bond and I think it’s because of this type of stuff and the way my state of mind was when I raised her versus my other girls.
PROVERBS 31:10-31
"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. She considereth a field, and buyerh it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard".
A dream 🥺😍😍 claiming this positive energy to build on my dream farm✨
This my dream too… she so blessed. Good luck dreka can’t wait to see the finish product
I could listen to you share your knowledge and experience with nature all day. I think you should start a podcast.
Love this, I can't stop watching & its dream that me & my wife about to start. Transitioning from NOLA to Mississippi
Ase! Ancestors are guiding us greatly
nature has always drown me back to reality, humans are meant to be out side, working, bathing in dirt and sun, and animals. i lived all my life in the concreate jungle, city life was just exhausting, covid happen, lost my job, almost homeless, made my choice to get out of cali. best decision iv done so far, got my own place with big land super cheap, starting my own garden therapy. love every single part of it. thanks for the video really happy your family is enjoying it
I wish I knew what I know now I would’ve bought a house with land I love watching her journey it motivates me so much .
Love watching the progression of your beautiful farm! 😍🤍
Lawwwwd, I need a TOUR! Hands in the DIRT. Sumn!!! 😫🙌🏿❤️
