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 see you trying to throw shade. 🛑 You all sound poorly informed. Black people are a MINORITY group in the US. That in itself was intentional on the part of the US government. There are likely to be more white people in any group in the US because there is a much higher percentage of white people in the US. I’m pretty sure the VAST majority of people who came through Ellis Island were white.
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
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
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.
We can all learn from each other, the earth, and more...to say "we" is a form of othering that tends to go towards tribalism and "othering"...and feeds separation, superiority, ego, strife and hatred. We, as an ideal monolithic group...doesn't exist. It's mind created narrative. There is much diversity in any given group, yet so many over-identify with one aspect. People are made of many variables and experiences.
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.
how did you not know? who do you think was working the farms during slavery? what jobs do you think the people had after slavery besides cleaning houses? wow...talk about clueless
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 :)
@@Kenbidreddscott no more false than the deities of other spiritual systems including yours? Tell me why do you believe your worshiping of a Middle Eastern deity is the right one, but all those before yours and after yours was invented is the correct one? Oh and she is not worshiping the ancestors, she is asking for guidance and thanking them and giving them all praises due, to have suffered what they went through to make her possible.
@@mikeaskme3530 absolutely false, no fkn way imma deify another mortal. U HONOR their struggle, not call on them to help with shit, they can't help u with a damn thing!
@@Kenbidreddscott well there are others that would say the same thing about " God" of the Christian faith and Allah of the Muslim faith, yet people still do it, so what is the difference between her and others who practice this? Look i have no ax to grind with you or her, i personally think its all BS, something us humans do when we are unsure, it still does not make her reasoning any less valid than what those who practice the Abraham faiths. At least her reasoning is not to oppress others based on what she believes.
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
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
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.
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.
Ugh.......our social progress, history and culture would make it a burden more than anything.......I'm not African my last 5 generations of fighting forefathers fought for this land now called America. All and all it's just too far gone. We can't even make ships in America, how are we going to trade and eventually go back to Africa? They don't even like us from what I have observed in the U.S.A.
@@dirtymikentheboys5817 so you can tell what 1 billion people think by just a few, gee you must be special. Our social history and burden is just as valid as their social history and burden it just came in different forms. and the reason we need unity is for the exact reason you name, we must start to think globally like all immigrants. my family has fought in every war this country has had from the civil war until now, and it still did not save them or us from getting short. no one is saying you need to leave the USA or at least i am not, but we all must remember there is strength in numbers.
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 there a video from south Africa called ‘farming while white’? You know, for diversity’s sake? Why doesn’t TH-cam put that situation into my mentions?
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.
The tragedy of black race...
Most sit back and complain...no critical thinking 🤔
@@wildcatlion4371 boy get your trolling ass out of here. we don't need your negativity

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.
Black people's culture, knowledge and spirits are amazing and have so much to teach other cultures.
We can all learn from each other, the earth, and more...to say "we" is a form of othering that tends to go towards tribalism and "othering"...and feeds separation, superiority, ego, strife and hatred.

Beautiful, courageous, compassionate, and wisdom.
I love youuuuuuuuu sister!!! Thank you sister!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh! I love this so much.....to my heart!
Thank you so much 🌱 💓
NICE job with making the video! That woman in the video, Leah Penniman, she DID A PERFECT JOB WITH WHAT she was doing!
I literally cried almost this entire video!
Dry inspiring family farm ✍🏽👍🏾

I love her comments about permaculture because I swear I thought the same thing when I first heard about how it was "discovered"
All I can say is WOW...so informative!
Eye opening!

Very informative keep it up. I learnt a lot.

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 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.

Folx will sit at our feet to listen to what some of us won’t hear: ancient farming and storage techniques.
When they scanned the crowd Jesus!! It really dawned what she going through.
Who kidnapped them? Why were “they” kidnapped? Who sold them?
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.
Love fellow black farmers! .......not a fan of the panafricanism.....
But hell yeah to getting us back to sustainable development and practices.
Adrian Brent what is it about strengthening bonds between descendants of Africa that you are not a fan of?
@Adrian Brent, why are you not a fan of panafricanism, what's wrong with cooperation, every other group of people do it, so why are you against it?
Ugh.......our social progress, history and culture would make it a burden more than anything.......I'm not African my last 5 generations of fighting forefathers fought for this land now called America.
All and all it's just too far gone. We can't even make ships in America, how are we going to trade and eventually go back to Africa? They don't even like us from what I have observed in the U.S.A.

Educate your own people
Is it possible that I can meet you when all of this crap is over??
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.
