Soil Independence: Black Farmers & the Composting Revolution

When a Black child sees themselves reflected in a doll, they see that they are already part of the story. That same truth extends to the food they eat, the soil that grows it, and the land their community controls. Kugichagulia – Self-Determination – grows from the playroom to the harvest.
