Joining us on the show this week is social entrepreneur, finance activist, mindfulness teacher, and farmer - Konda Mason. She's the Co-founder and president of Jubilee Justice and the Co-founder of Potlikker Capital, which are two nonprofits working to bring climate-resilient farming and economic equity to BIPOC farmers in the rural south. She's also the Co-founder and founding CEO of Impact Hub Oakland (which is now known as Emerge Oakland). This is an award-winning co-working space that supports socially engaged entrepreneurs and changemakers.
For this conversation, we explore the intersection of land, race, money, and food. Namely we talk about the ways these aspects of our society have been manipulated to lock communities out of creating generational wealth and keeping them marginalized. From this foundation, we also explore the important relationship that humans have with the lands that they occupy, and how connecting with said land connects us to spirit.
