The Soul Fire team grew food and medicine to feed 225 people through weekly Solidarity Shares deliveries, provided 3,000 farm-to-table meals to program participants, and established a COVID-19 memorial orchard. Over 1,200 learners visited the farm to immerse in Afro-Indigenous earth wisdom during our FIRE (Farming in Relationship with Earth) Immersions, 3D workshops, Youth Programs, SOULstice and Equilibrium festivals. We continued to incubate the Braiding Seeds Fellowship, which graduated its first cohort of farmers and brought on 10 new fellows. Additionally, our Uprooting Racism training, public speaking, Ask a Sista Farmer, and Liberation on Land how-to videos reached over 45,000 learners, and our storytelling was published in 8 new books. We are also investing deeply in our organizational and physical infrastructure so that we can continue to fill our movement niche for the long haul.
