We invite you to join us as we explore the narratives of our relationship to food and sovereignty. Blacks have always had a strong connection to the land and the food we grew and cooked our family and community. Food has and continues to be an important part of our lives, often center to our fellowship, celebration, ritual, and healing. This connection was broken on the backs of enslaved Africans on plantations and for many a spirit of love for the land was turned to shame and pain.
