When We Fight, We Win! The Podcast

Soul Fire Farm heals ancestral wounds.

Episode 7 of When We Fight, We Win! The Podcast “Decolonizing the Land, Liberating the Farmer” features #LeahPenniman of Soul Fire Farm. Soul Fire Farm is a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) centered community farm committed to ending racism and injustice in the food system. They teach folks how to farm and reconnect with the earth and their ancestors. Leah is the author of “Farming While Black”.

98% of the land to grow crops on in the United States today is white owned. This is the lowest it has been in history. Much of the formerly owned Black and brown land was stolen and is still owned by the descendants of white families. What does this mean for communities of color now? Leah provides powerful insights on how we can decolonize the land and our minds.

From land reparations to acknowledging social disparities to access to culturally appropriate food, Leah takes us on a journey of healing trauma. As Leah’s daughter Ashima says, “the food system is everything it takes to get sunshine to your plate”.

Please listen to this critical episode and check out how to get involved.
