Josh. You never disappoint. This gentleman is amazing! His programs are outstanding and his outlook is invigorating. Thank you for intruducing him to us. We look forward to learning more about Mr. Kamal Bell. Please keep us posted on what you two might do together.
Josh is amazing! We truly appreciate your kind words and we will continue to push forward!
Thank you for the kind words. It was truly a pleasure chatting with Kamal and getting to film him a bit.
I wish there was a love button. I was just trying to come up with the perfect words and you already did. Thanks for introducing a great young man that’s doing good for so many people.
What a great video. I wish that young man the very best. He should be very proud of what he’s accomplished so far.
Thank you Josh for taking the time and effort to not only teach people about farming and techniques, but for also sharing your platform to help others do the same. Shining the light on someone else's dreams and ambitions to make their community a better place is exactly what good people do. Well done to you both!!!
When people say “Serving the Underserved Populations” I think THIS is something they need to be looking up to. This isn’t a feel-good story, this is education and empathy and empowerment.
What an inspiration 👏 He is a solid example of educating himself and researching ways to help vulnerable children learn. They do have great barriers to learning, having home support, and good nutrition--all contribute to learning issues. What a great guy and so positive!
Wow what an amazing Human being 🥰I wish there where a lot more people like this man. well done and keep going 🥰👍
Truly humbled by your comments! Thank you ☺️
I love that he's about the youth and 'transferable life skills'
Love, love, love his energy! Gives me hope!!
☺️☺️☺️
The idea of this farm is amazing! Wishing Sankofa all the best as they move forward. Love from Zimbabwe
Wow amazing! Thank you so much!
I looked up the meaning of sankofa and am now totally impressed even more! _sankofa_ -- “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”
Thanks Niles! That’s why we chose the term! We love it’s meaning!
Yes Sankofa is from the Akan language my native tongue.
This is also useful in Africa as young people in Africa are also shunning agriculture. They can't see a future in agriculture.
Well done Sankofa Farms!
Due to "Commie conditioning"
I feel like agricultural education has been on a backburner in Africa. As a result, good farming practices and knowledge are extremely low resulting in low yields which in turn results in people giving up
Thank you for introducing this amazing man!! Going to follow immediately.
He's doing such fantastic work and is incredibly inspiring. I could listen to him speak all day!
I love the story from being scared of the bees to it becoming his favorite thing. 🥰
I am from The Caribbean, where the young generation has shunned agriculture. Slavery has that to blame for! Our island was known in having the most fertile soil, and imagine now we do not grow and import everything ona boat. I think This farm is doing such an important thing on so many levels. Bravo!
Nice work Josh and Sankofa Farmes! Look forward to future collaborations!
As a minority farmer myself , its reassuring to see more people of any color gravitate towards farming. I've always grown up this way but to some people in bigger towns always have a stigma of what certain groups of people should be. Great job on the farm and Josh as always nice videos!
Thank you! I hope we all can inspire more!
Love, love, this! Excellent to see more Blacks going into farming and appreciating the value of agriculture. We all will benefit from this. Thank you. Great work Kamal.
Thank you! Also thank you for seeing the bigger picture as well!
This is such an inspiring project! Well done to Kamal and Sankofa farms!
And Josh, thanks for highlighting diversity in agriculture as well. It's refreshing (and important) to see on youtube. I'll definitely be following Sankofa Farm's journey. Love your content!
Thank you so much Nana! Josh is doing great work! We’re honored to have met him!
Yes it is. 😊
You're welcome. It was truly a pleasure to get to know and film a little bit with Kamal. He is a great person doing awesome things.
Hi Josh,
What an inspiring video! Kamal seems like a great guy! I hope you can get him to come out to your farm with some bees and maybe give his kids a working tour of your farm at the same time to demonstrate different farming techniques! That would be cool! :)
Thank you yet again for your dedication to sharing all of this with all of us! New videos from you are always a high point of my day!
Take care, be well and all the best from California 💛
Thank you for the kind words. Kamal and I have definitely been trying to coordinate getting some of his students out to our farm over the past few weeks. We just haven't been able to find the time that works for both of us.
For all the farming channels on TH-cam Josh continues to to be the best. Thanks josh!
By far !!!
Thanks, Josh for the introduction!!
You're welcome!
Love what Kamal Bell is doing helping the youth. he seems like such a great guy and really smart. ty for the the great vid Josh.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Josh I’ve been a fan and following your content literally the day you started, with the lettuce tutorials. It means the world to me you highlighted this farm! Much much love
Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure getting to chat with Kamal, film him a bit and share it with you all!
best wishes to him and the SANKOFA fram
Thank you!
I love this! I want to see more of this! Thank you so much for highlighting such a great outlet in your community. This is beautiful. 💚
I love that he catches swarms!!!! His apiary must have such nice variation in types 🥰
We love swarms so much!!! I think the adventure is the best part for me!
Good gracious that’s a LOT of stuff going on! Wow!! And ambitions for more! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Claire! 😃
Excellent. This is the way to go!!!
Thank you!
Way to go Kamal and Sankofa Farms. Love the vision and impact you’ve had so far. Wishing you continued success!
Thanks 🙏🏿 we truly appreciate it!
That...was a refreshing video to watch! What a wonderful program he has going on there. I'm definitely looking forward to more video's following the progress at this farm!
Thanks Scott! We’re going to have some major updates soon!
Might be my new favorite video. Fabulous
Great concept, love it. I’d love to connect more students in my community to this type of farming.
This is awesome!
So glad you visited their farm. Hopefully you can visit other black owned farms in NC as well.
I was glad to get to chat with Kamal and film him a bit. I did some filming with Howard Allen of Faithfull Farms last year. I hope to get to more farms this year too. Do you know of any that you would like me to visit?
Josh Sattin I’ve been researching www.abanituorganics.com/ and www.pineknotfarmsnc.com to name a few.
We love Sankofa!
Thanks Devin!
Soo soo soo great !! I hope this becomes popular in all the states around the country 🇺🇸
I hope we get there some day! 😀
What a great message and example Kamal is setting.
Thanks for a great post. What an inspiring young man-giving an invaluable gift to our youngsters. Teaching them to nurture and learning how a relationship with nature grows our bodies and our spirits. Who knows how far these ripples will travel? Growing good food is a great thing but the seeds he's planting in his 'kids' are even more important
As an aside, hoping everyone in your area stays safe from the storm.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Wow! What an awesome job he is doing. Giving rays of light during this often dark time in our country. Thank you for what you do. I pray that God will continue to give you strength & wisdom as you continue on the mission He has given you!
Thank you! We will keep doing the best we can!
What an incredible man! Wow!
Kamal you rock. Thanks also Josh
Thank you for supporting!
Wow-so love everything he is doing-God Speed!
Thank you so much!
Very very special man and project. Thank you Josh for bring this project to us. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
So happy to see this! Cannot wait to see what you all are able to do with this!!!
when filming black folks. you can use a board that's white on the ground to bounce the light. Thank you so much for making this video~~~ !!!!! I hope he can get as many young people into farming. Not let these farms be under used.
that's true and good point! looking back in to the history of camera/color/light balance it was sadly primarily focused on optimization of white skintone, never black or dark skin - i studied photography/advertising in school and it was never inclusive of any skin tone other than white, ugh
but moreover, this is an awesome video and awesome dude! sending good vibes to you all! thanks for the videos always!
Yes a bounce would probably have helped. I am a one man show and all of my content is pretty run and gun style on farms. I am glad I was able to take a little bit of his time to share his story.
@@JoshSattinFarming yea, so cool! no criticism to you! i always enjoy the vids and quality...
Wow!!! How AWESOME!!! What a beautiful purpose!
Thank you ☺️
Super!!!! 👍
Thank you!
Go! Sankofa Farms!!!
Blessings to him. 😊😊😊
😊😊😊
This is amazing!! Our mentors in Northwest Indiana are doing the same and it makes a HUGE impact!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Very good. Please teach them regenerative farming. We need to move from industrial to regenerative farming, which is sustainable and heals the land.
Thanks Josh.
You're welcome!
Josh, I've watched most if not all of your videos, and this just might be my favorite. Thanks so much for introducing us to Kamal and Sankofa Farms. Excited to watch what he does next.
Thank you!
This is amazing! Kamal and his team are incredible.
Thank you 😊
Positive Deeds have Positive Results Always!!!!!!
☺️☺️☺️
Excellent
Thank you!!! 😊
Thanks Josh for bringing this video to your channel
from Canada...you the man brother !!!!!
This video is so needed. Thank you
Thank you!!!
wow simply awesome , what energy you have MR. Kamal Bell . I would like to know if you are planning on selling honey in stores or establishing an on line website so people can purchase to have it mailed to them ........great interview on african american agriculture Josh ........I would like to interview Kamal one day
We could for sure set up a interview! Just send me an email! Also we are gearing to sell some honey this year! Our biggest aim the last three years was to establish healthy norms in our apiary. We are looking to start producing on a larger scale next season!
Love what is happening here, too many things to put into a comment. Great work soon to be Dr. Bell and Josh. Education is freedom.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
You are wonderful!! So good to hear this is happening. 💪😍
Yeah, wow.👍
Very interesting, his vision for people and his business are awesome, he is definitely going places and is a valuable asset to his community.
I hope so! Thank you!
Good luck his venture, I think this is great
Thank you!
“How can I get more bees” haha and the bees in the Spring say “hold my beer and watch this swarm” 🤣
Good for you!
Great video! So encouraging. Why the heck are so many people giving a thumbs down?!
Dayna In Hawaii we just appreciate everyone who supports!
I subscribed just now. Excited to see your project grow.
Thanks for sharing this great project!
Josh is the man for coming out and taking that chance with us!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
"vessel of change" is a fantastic objective!
This is an excellent video. Very inspiring.
Thank you for sharing....I look forward to what you all do together going forward. Mr. Bell, are you familar with Ms. Perrimans book?
Thank you for the support!
@@sankofafarms we've only just begun!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Reef Club 😀😀😀
Thanks. Will do!
I love this video.
Good job man!!!
Chris A Thank you !
Sankofa Farms no problem we need more people like you in this world!!! I also subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!!!
So, how do the bees know which hive is theirs?
Clever bees!
Super dope
Love to see this. Can’t wait to hear more. Blessings...daisy@MapleHill101
Got my sub!
glad to see, many have been brainwashed they cannot. in college knew something even rarer, two orthodox Judean farmers, in Missouri. to the outsider they appeared no different from all the rest, they knew life.
Michael Sallee 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Does he have TH-cam
Hey Josh-don't want to pester and I'll bet you're really busy but when you're able, can you do a quick post just to say everyone is OK?
Too bad we can't see him well. I think this is important.
We filmed during the middle of the day which is always the toughest to get proper exposure. I am a one man show. I do all of the filming, interviewing and editing. Kamal did tell me it looked okay to him. I still hope you enjoyed the video and his story.
The video is great, but trust you will see more content from us in the future 👌🏿
There will be more gonja grows 😂🤣
Great video, as all your videos are. However, I got to say that I'm very disappointed in the title of this one. Couldn't you just call is "Introducing Youth to Agriculture"? What difference does the race of a farmer make anyway? Just saying...
You’re completely missing the point. Black farmers barely make up 1% of farmers so yes we do need to introduce BLACK youth to agriculture because they are not well represented in that career field whereas white farmers make up 95%. Kamal does a fantastic job of explaining why he reaches out to black youth in this video so I recommend watching before commenting
@@kateshadwell8584 Thank you for explaining it! Jeez some things go right over peoples heads
