The (Broken) Promised Land: The Plight of Black American Farmers

 This episode, Amber and Erika are joined by Dr. Cindy Ayers Elliott, CEO of Footprint Farms, LLC in Jackson, Mississippi to discuss the substantial, but little known role that Black farmers play in American agribusiness as well as the ways that systemic racism and White Supremacy have undermined Black farmers’ industry prominence and financial gain. Using both a historical context plus her own unique experiences as a Black business owner and woman, Dr. Ayers Elliott offers us a unique insight into Black struggle and excellence in the agricultural industry. http://brokeish.com/ https://www.instagram.com/brokeishpod... https://twitter.com/broke_ish https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast
