Black People Don't Use Measuring Spoons ft. Leah Penniman
Manage episode 359372872 series 3447556
‘Black People Don’t Use Measuring Spoons’ is the third installment of our Women’s History Month series. In this episode, Tracine talks to Leah Penniman, a Black Kreyol farmer, mother, soil nerd, author and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, New York. Together, they explore the connections that Black communities, Indigenous Communities, and Communities of color have to land and the land has to us. Leah is the author of Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land (released in 2018) and Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists (released in 2023), which she describes as love songs for the land and her people.
