You know that you're special when your primary care physician emails your department every year to make sure they nominate you for an honor. Dr. Hayon, I'm so grateful for all that you do and for who you are. Thank you.

An opportunity of a lifetime to connect with Natalie Baszile, author of Queen Sugar. Such a kind spirit and thoughtful soul. Excited about our potential collaboration to share more stories of Black freedom and Black farmers. Sharing with permission.

LOVED the message of the documentary. Waiting for the follow up with Black, Latinx and Indigenous farmers who have been involved in regenerative ag before it was popular. Would love to provide some examples! Rich history, include more voices. @kissthegroundoc Woody Harrelson

I'm grateful for the chance to acknowledge my loving and supportive community both within and outside of the academy, especially all of the Detroit solutionaries who saw fit to teach me the beauty of collective agency and community resilience. My heart is full.

Honored to have offered personal and historical context for Black growers who found love in growing food. This work reminds me of Alice Walker's quote, "In search of my mother's garden..."
