It takes all of us to #PromoteHealthEquity—and we can start by listening to those who know their communities best. @TheHomecomers by @Sarah_Smarsh is filled with voices of rural and tribal residents "fighting for the place that feels like home.” thehomecomers.org/

The first interview I recorded as newbie podcast producer & host of @TheHomecomers made #Bello100 list of year's best! "How do we begin to value our food growers not only for what they grow but also for their labor and their expertise?" -@bellocollective bellocollective.com/100-best…

Same! I’ve downloaded Heartland, by Sarah Smarsh - 3 chapters in, and her podcast @TheHomecomers is phenomenal too.

This morning I was finally able to get back to the @TheHomecomers podcast. It's so so good. The intro alone always pumps me up to get to work and continue the fight for rural. @Sarah_Smarsh @networkkansas

"You don’t know the Black Belt. That the things that you keep building, we already have.... You don’t have to tell people in rural places how to build community—we already know that... Don’t give up on places that you are not knowledgeable about."
EP. 1 of #TheHomecomers with @Sarah_Smarsh is here! Meet @blackbeltsista, a political scientist and advocate who lives and works in the Black Belt—a crescent-shaped region of the rural South that stretches from VA to TX. #ThisIsRural thehomecomers.org/episodes/v…

Have you listened to this episode to @TheHomecomers? @Sarah_Smarsh interviews FFP's @cactuswrenwrite. They talk about John's farmscape paintings on saw blades. Here's one of his works that we photographed while visiting him in Kansas. sarahsmarsh.com/podcast/epis…

I’m on public radio a lot. @1a Across America, which has built long-term research + community connections with six places across the U.S., is the most heartening & important civic journalism initiative I’ve seen in national media. Until today never had the show come to ME. :)
