Episode Notes

In the episode, we speak with Dr. Shakara Tyler, Board President of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network and co-founder of the Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund. We talk about ways the Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund is addressing historical and racial land ownership disparities, building food sovereignty, and revitalizing Detroit’s agricultural landscape. We discuss land justice as the foundation for social movements, the importance of building meaningful relationships, and the major transfer of wealth that has to happen to close the racial wealth gap and ensure everyone can thrive.
