Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with this season's guiding text: Black Earth Wisdom. In this episode, we talk about how racism has cut us off from natural spaces and our indigenous knowledge. We elevate our environmental justice ancestors and discuss how liberation of Black people is tied to the liberation of the Earth.
