This week I’m joined by Leah Penniman on The Doctor’s Farmacy. Leah Penniman is a Black Kreyol educator, farmer, author, and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the mission to end racism in the food system and reclaim our ancestral connection to land.
As Co-Executive Director, Leah is part of a team that facilitates powerful food sovereignty programs—including farmer training for Black and Brown people, a subsidized farm food distribution program for communities living under food apartheid, and domestic and international organizing toward equity in the food system. Her book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land is a love song for the land and her people.
Leah and I dive into a critical conversation of our time, looking at the obstacles that are keeping people of color from becoming farmers and how she overcame the odds and made her passion a reality with the founding of Soul Fire Farm.
Oh we’re aware! And The Most High will get it all back to us and then some. We got next! Shalom
Good subject this morning. Thank you
This is absolutely true. My grandfather’s farmland is still in our family. Thank you for this great information.
Dr. Hyman I always felt that your heart was on the right side of truth and your comments on this program sulitifies my belief in you. Keep up the good empowering work that you do !
We are well aware of it. No maybe,give it back !!
sure food is linked to health and medicine. however digging into racist injustices hinging on current politics (historical or not) is nothing more than free advertisement and a free ride to audiences not inline with your narrative. be careful what you promise.
unless your turning into the joe roagen experience broadcaster with no definitive goal or message outside uncovering miseries of human nature…
I’d stick to the script doc.
I was sad to see this. on your channel today.
PS your a hero to millions
Just like the issue of “Climate Change” (Formerly “Global Warming”) YES, pollution is an issue, YES, we need to clean up the planet… NO, Co2 is NOT the cause of climate change…Like it or not, the Sun is the driver of EVERYTHING that happens to our climate here on Earth – FACT!
Laugh if you want…You will see what is in store for us in the next 10 years… GSM! Everything is cyclical – FACT! Best get your things in order and stop believe all this bullshit from the media… Sheep!
CryptoChris who was this intended for? seem largely off topic but I agree with your message 100%
