Our theme for the next couple of weeks: Food in Movies 🎬!
Mai Nguyễn, the founder of Asian American Farmers Alliance and co-director of Minnow, is a farmer from Sonoma County. Mai shares how #Minari speaks to her experiences as an #AsianAmerican woman and farmer.
“This film has made our work visible and enabled more Asian American farmers to find each other... society gladly accepts the fruits of our labor, but "Minari" helps people to understand and maybe even celebrate us, not because of the work we do, but because we are human too.”
The Braiding Seeds Fellowship, a project of Soul Fire Farm Institute in collaboration with the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, carries on the legacy of the braided seeds by providing beginning farmers with resources, professional development, and mentorship.
Y'ALL! @braidingseedsfellowship applications are OPEN for 22-23! 10 spots are open for the fellowship and the program includes a $50,000 stipend for each participant. To apply: ow.ly/ZbP950IbSqE If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected]
