About the Speaker

Pearly Ma is a librarian at NLB. Her job includes bringing sustainable programmes to seniors at the libraries. She started making kombucha after a friend passed her a starter in December 2021 and has brewed over 30 batches to date. She also makes ginger beer, another fantastic fermented home-brew!
