My goodness! She is speaking for black culture and yet there are more non-blacks present. I love her wisdom, dedication, and courage. I applaud this young woman.

I am so encouraged by this powerful Queen! Sista Leah Pennimann never hides, nor water downs, her African-Centered philosophy and culture, regardless of the audience! Ashè

This is nutrition for my mind! Seeds of wisdom are germinating! I feel self-affirmed and have much more gratitude for farmers and the food I eat.

Its amazing how other cultures are so fascinated with how we do things. Believe it or not, they learn from us.

Dry inspiring family farm ✍🏽👍🏾

I felt this conversation in my soul. I thank you for sharing all your hands on experience and info! I came to learn and that I did. I want to learn how to grow food, raise the levels of soil to thrive and most of all experience it with my 2 children as well.

Beautiful, courageous, compassionate, and wisdom.

I literally cried almost this entire video!

Thanks I almost cried 😢35 never knew I had a calling for growing until this year I plant seeds they popped up 2 days call my mom in told her she said you have growing hands like me am at peace growing something about it helps heal my soul no matter what been going on I will tell everyone grow something you can care for

NICE job with making the video! That woman in the video, Leah Penniman, she DID A PERFECT JOB WITH WHAT she was doing!

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Oh my gosh! I love this so much.....to my heart!

I love her comments about permaculture because I swear I thought the same thing when I first heard about how it was "discovered"

Who knew??? I had no idea of the contribution by black and brown farmers. This was most informative!!!! You have a new subscriber. Thank you for your voice.

All I can say is WOW...so informative!

The funniest thing about when I read the title of this is that for those of us that grew up in this state and an agricultural environments a 150 had dairy farm struggling everyday just to get your chores done because if you didn't get your chores done God forbid something with lack and then inevitably the family would suffer I don't remember seeing very many black folk or any folk that wanted anything other than a quick buck in their pocket coming up here. They most certainly weren't up here looking for in Agra cultural job, in fact if I remember right there were a bunch of take Vermont back signs on people's Lawns because the same-sex marriages were finally coming up to speed and getting with the rights and that they should have had from the get-go and we had a large proportion of folks who were running away from problems in big cities in other states a sex offenses drug charges etc etc come into a rule Dairy State finding some person that would be dumb enough to allow them to ingratiate into their family that a lot of which are on Section 8 or some sort of help for disability they start selling whatever it is that their lifestyle encourage them to do up in a small area with a small town where everybody knows each other and they call that racism because they end up inevitably getting caught doing a lifestyle and a life that inevitably gets them hemmed up

Thank you so much 🌱 💓

So very inspirational!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Continued blessing in all you do.

Thank you so much for this conference, really impressive !!! I learned a lot and it really shed a new light on my knowledge about farming and agriculture :)

I loved listening to this!

Ok, id have to walk out of this meeting when u start calling ancestors! I thank God

Eye opening!

I'd LOVE to see Bill Thorn, who's this African American man who's the owner of a farm called Sky Island Farms, in this video as well.

I would love to learn from her…

Love fellow black farmers! .......not a fan of the panafricanism..... But hell yeah to getting us back to sustainable development and practices.

Very informative keep it up. I learnt a lot.

Great informative video. Would love to visit your farm.

When they scanned the crowd Jesus!! It really dawned what she going through.

Love this!

I like Ms Pennimans African historical perspective on growing food, caring for the earth, and community. Love it!! But, her comments that Permaculture does not exist is off point. I'm a Black (ADOS) Permacultre farmer and use the principles laid out by Mollison and Holmgren in my work and personal life. They put a name to a relationship with plants and habitat that certainly existed before their research. I believe Mollison gives plenty of credit to indigenous land stewards when he coined the term Permaculture and in his teaching. The ethics and principles encompass more than just farming or gardening. As to profit, I personally don't know a Permacuture practitioner in the top 50% of income earners. That being said, I have my own problems with the Permaculture community itself. And I do appreciate the work of Soul Fire Farm and Ms Penniman's mentoring of young farmers.

Folx will sit at our feet to listen to what some of us won’t hear: ancient farming and storage techniques.

I want to be of good service to her grandfathers farm. Really I can't find a way to reach out to any of the names in the video. You dont have to sell it and should not maybe add another seed to the soil and carry it over into the future I'm just saying but I hope someone reaches back out to me about the topic at hand hope you all stay blessed

Thanks

Guys, band together as a group and take those skills and invest together in Africa adding another market. In addition, grow Medical Marijuana /Cannabis /Hemp and CBD products. Diversify and work with African American dispensary.

Who kidnapped them? Why were “they” kidnapped? Who sold them?

I see the icofa on her wrist. Modupé Iba’se!

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I just find u on KZfaq Thank You I want to learn how to farm. I'm going to leave my email.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Educate your own people

Since when do the corn plants and chickens care what color your skin is? Or is it that you only buy dark colored animals? Since when does skin color change farming techniques? Or maybe you just refuse to sell to anyone whose skin is too pale.

Is it possible that I can meet you when all of this crap is over??

Ase’

.

Is there a video from south Africa called ‘farming while white’? You know, for diversity’s sake? Why doesn’t KZfaq put that situation into my mentions?
