About our hosts :

Hummingbirds Urban Farming Collective: Hummingbirds Urban Farming Collective is dedicated to creating deep connections to land and community for Black children and the communities that help to raise them up.

City Slicker Farms: Works to increase wellness and build community through equitable access to healthy food, thriving gardens, and urban green space.

Why should you join us? :

- By learning about afro-ecology we can begin to rewrite the narrative about Black history, Black ingenuity and Black legacies.

- By teaching our children about this history we provide them an opportunity to connect with culture and traditions that white supremacy tries to hide.

- When we connect with afro-ecology we have an opportunity to access sustainable practices for being in right relationship with the land and ultimately ourselves.

- It is incredibly cool to learn about the experiences and pure brilliance of our ancestors.

- Spending time outdoors on a beautiful farm in beloved community is good for the soul.
