About this episode
In this powerful episode of Black in the Garden, Colah B and co-host Joshua Hite (aka Plant Zaddy) dig into the revolutionary legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer and the Freedom Farm Cooperative. They explore how Hamer’s vision of food sovereignty, land ownership, and cooperative economics empowered Black communities—and why that vision still matters today. From the impact of celebrity allies to modern ways we can continue Hamer’s work, this episode is full of history, inspiration, and actionable steps for reclaiming self-sufficiency.
