Further, Black communities suffer disproportionately from illnesses related to lack of access to fresh food and healthy natural ecosystems.Please join us for a conversation with Soul Fire Farm Co-Director and Farming While Black author Leah Penniman to learn how you can be part of the movement for food sovereignty and help build a food system based on justice, dignity, and abundance for all members of our community.This event is free and will take place in the Rhode Island Department of Health Auditorium (Lower Level), Three Capitol Hill, Providence, RI, 02908.
