WBUR assistant manager editor for climate and environment Kathleen Masterson moderates a conversation with Leah Penniman, a Black Kreyol farmer, author, mother and food justice activist who serves as founding co-ED and Farm Director of Soul Fire Farm.

Located in Grafton, NY, Soul Fire Farm is an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm committed to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. The farm leads training programs for Black, Latinx and Indigenous aspiring growers and works to dismantle racism in the food system through a low cost fresh food delivery service for people living under food apartheid.

Copies of Penniman’s books, “Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists” and “Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land” will be available for purchase and Penniman will sign following the conversation.
