Leah Penniman Roots Watering Hole Trailer and Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists Promotion

Roots Watering Hole Podcast Series

This is a very short trailer and announcement about Leah Penniman's new book out February 28, 2023. The full episode of our session won't drop until May 2023 when Dr. Akilah and I will devote the entire month to Black farmers and gardeners. Leah's new book is so exciting we wanted to let our audience and networks know that is coming out soon. Please share with your networks and consider purchasing this important new work, Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists.
For more also see the Soul Fire Farm website. Scroll down while you are on the site and find a book entitled A Darker Wilderness: Black Nature Writing From Soil to Stars, edited by Erin Sharkey. I just added the book to my reading stack and there you will find an excellent collection of essays including one by Naima Penniman of WILDSEED Community Farm and Healing Village, entitled Concentric Memory: Re-membering Our Way Into the Future. Consider picking up this book as well...
