#144: Food Justice: A Social Movement

Movements do not have an expiration date! The legacy that our ancestors built rests in the hands of our generation to continue the fight and address the food apartheid that still exists in urban black communities today. In this episode of Cuzzin' Talk - we chat with social change agent and founder, Xavier Brown of Soilful City to unpack the politics behind large organizations that claim to "feed" communities and question why folks are still hungry! We also deep dive into how other countries organize and build around food and farming in comparison to the United States, then pay homage to some of the most notorious, yet underground, black activists who played a pivotal role in feeding and protecting black communities. Throughout the episode, Xavier shares some recommended books (see episode notes). that every black food organizer and advocate should tap into.
