Welcome to Season Six. In this premiere episode, we’re talking about food activism, food sovereignty and food history and I’m excited to share the life and legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer with you.

Fannie Lou Hamer was a pioneer, a courageous and determined woman, farmer, chef, freedom fighter, singer, mother, wife, friend and survivor and I am honored to dedicate this episode to her.

In this episode, we’re also going to talk about how Fannie Lou Hamer’s legacy impacts us today, how her ideas and commitment to community, poor people and food are relevant today. Especially regarding the corporate takeover of our food systems, rising food prices, new proposed legislation and our food freedom.

Thanks for listening in and please share this episode with someone you love. And remember, "Nobody's free, until everybody's free."
