Our Cultivators
Cultivator members are individuals identify as Black or of African descent and are interested in and have demonstrated a commitment toward their own politicizing and analysis around Black food sovereignty, anti-Blackness, and Black liberation.
We are looking for cultivators who are interested in making practical contributions across three collectives:
Blackademics - Black academics with a lens towards Black liberation that centers agrarianism, climate, and/or food.
Art & Culture Collective - for those invested in art, cultural production, and cultural preservation
Kazi Mob - Black farmers and tradespeople who would like to offer their niche skillset in service of the network (horticulture, biodynamic farming, etc.)
