Natalie Baszile is the author of the novel, "Queen Sugar," which was adapted for seven television seasons and nominated for an NAACP Image Award. She has a M.A. in Afro-American Studies from UCLA, and an MFA from Warren Wilson College's MFA Program for Writers.
Join us as we discuss Natalie Baszile's new non-fiction book, "We are Each Other's Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land & Legacy," where Natalie brings together essays, poems, conversations, portraits, and first-person narratives to tell the story of Black people's connection to the land from Emancipation to the present. Natalie's passion for the stories of Black farmers and land stewards comes from a desire to shift the narrative around agriculture, farming, and labor.
