I'm grateful to have represented @BlackChurchFSN last week at an important gathering in #Brazil focused on #climatechange, sustainability & regenerative #agriculture. Thank you @Ashoka for bringing this inspiring group together to explore ways that we can scale our impact!

Saying "no" to reparations means saying no to the family of Howard Cooper; a 15 year old boy who was lynched in Towson, Maryland. #Reparations is more than a policy or legal issue. It's personal.

"Food is used as a political weapon, but if you have a pig in your backyard and some vegetables in your garden, you can feed yourself and your family, and nobody can push you around."

Global Death Merchants (euphemism: “Defense Contractors”) poised to rake in at least 52 billion US dollars by 2026 due to increases in governments’ spending and “rising geopolitical tensions.” They’ll buy back stock and pay stockholders with profits.
