   Episode 11: Agency, Power and Planting

   In this episode, we have a conversation about the sense of empowerment and agency we can gain through learning to grow our own food, even with sometimes limited space and resources. Quiana and Misty speak with a special guest, Skye Ellis, who is a beginning farmer in ECO City Farm’s Growing Urban Farms and Farmers Program. Skye speaks about her experience learning to grow food for her own sustenance and the resourcefulness she is gaining through learning to grow food in small and urban spaces.  She also shares her perspective about the healing and grounding benefits that Black people can gain through planting food and being in touch with the land. Thank you all for joining us. Let us know what you think about this episode. Follow us on instagram at hwbpodcast. You can also email us at healingwhileblackpodcast@gmail.com. About our Guest: Throughout her childhood adventures and equally imaginative adult life, Skye Ellis has been led, moved, and shaped by curiosity. Ellis moved from MA to D.C. to explore community care, identity, free play, human-to-nature connections, and the art of organized rebellion. Questions about the society in which she's expected to conform to stimulate her work as an earth steward, healing artist, and storyteller.
