KD Randle (they/them) is a Black, southern, queer, genderfluid person currently living in Jackson, Mississippi. They’re a lifelong learner, visionary, creator, their mother’s youngest seed, a friend, partner, dog parent, and former farm apprentice at Sipp Culture. This episode weaves together audio diaries recorded on KD’s commutes to and from the farm, and an interview with their mother: Reverend Sandras Anderson. They reflect on the legacy of Black farmers, returning home and falling back in love with rural MS, divine androgyny, spirituality, abundance, and more.

For this episode, we’re asking you to please donate to KD as they continue the beginning investments and building of their farming journey. You can do so via cash app: $kellsrandle or Venmo: kells_randle
