There are some not-so-well-known hero’s who have made wonderful contributions to communities.

 

Have you heard about the growing number of black female farmers?

 

Growing food and community:

According to News19,

Bonita Clemons started the FarmaSis movement in 2016 with the goal of teaching 10,000 Black women about farming. Now, she's won the SC Woman Farmer of the Year!

 

I’ve been wanting to get a plot at a community garden in the area I just moved to. It will be a fun activity for my mom and me to do together. Not to mention the benefits of growing my own food.

 

Anyone out there with a veggie garden or who is a farmer and can share some tips?  
 

-AND-

 

Who, What or How has Black Greatness impacted your life?  Maybe your experience can inspire others

 

 

I’ve always wanted to grow food. One of my grandfathers was a farmer and at least one of his children maintained a vegetable garden. I don’t believe any of us grandchildren picked up the skill.
