During this exclusive episode of The Edible Activist Live Podcast event, we opened our studio doors to welcome guests into a vibrant, in-person dialogue celebrating HOMEGROWN – paying tribute to the black women growers, farmers, and food activists who shape our communities. We had the privilege of interviewing none other than Falani Spivey of Byrd's Nest Box, delving into her journey rooted in homegrown traditions and the pioneering women who have influenced her farming practices. From candid discussions on the essence of homegrown in DC and North Carolina to heartfelt tributes to the matriarchal cooks in her family, this conversation is one that resonates deeply. Tune in to join the celebration and honor the incredible contributions of black women agrarians.
