Welcome back to the Black Yield Podcast where your host Lee Jordan, Ashley (or Janet depending on the day), and Brother Eric talk all things land, food, and liberation!

On this episode, expect a lot of laughs from the always entertaining Food Apartheid stories as well as rich conversation about the importance of telling our own stories on our own terms. Enjoy!

Peace,

Thank you for listening to the Black Yield Podcast. As a compliment to our episode on telling your own stories (check that out) we thought that it would be dope to share a few sections of our first Rawdio book with you.

We present to you BoOTS: Liberation In The Masses and In The Margins
