Out & Back with Alison Mariella Désir: Farming as Healing

Hosted by author, activist and runner Alison Mariella Désir, this new series covers topics like the running boom, sun down towns, environmental racism, redlining, representation and more. Though these experiences range far and wide, the PNW is full of people and groups who have faced these issues of access and recognition and are actively working to change that. Alison tours Yes Farm, the Yesler Terrace urban farm created by Ray Williams, founder of the Black Farmers Collective. Surrounded by Seattle’s cityscape, the farm reconnects people to the land while working toward building community through promoting mental, cultural and spiritual health.
