“Carrying on the legacy of our ancestral grandmothers, who braided seeds in their hair before boarding transatlantic slave ships, believing against odds in a future of sovereignty on land.”
"Some of our most cherished sustainable farming practices have roots in African wisdom. Yet, discrimination and violence against African-American farmers has led to their decline from 14 percent of all growers in 1920 to less than 2 percent today, with a corresponding loss of over 14 million acres of land. Further, Black communities suffer disproportionately from illnesses related to lack of access to fresh food and healthy natural ecosystems. Soul Fire Farm, cofounded by author, activist, and farmer Leah Penniman, is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system. "

"There was once an Indian shaykh who gave out cures from the Quran. Specific verses to be recited for specific ailments. Ruqya essentially. "We reveal from the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers." At the time, the British had come in with their own naturalist worldview and many of the elite began turning their backs on the Quran.
There was a physician in the same neighborhood and every time he would prescribe a medicine to his patients, they would say, I also recite such-and-such a verse given to me by the shaykh. Frustrated, the physician visited the shaykh.
"Shaykh, we now have real medicine; we do not need to rely on placebo-effect beliefs through these verses. It's all superstition," said the physician.
The shaykh replied, "We support both medicine and ruqya, since Allah called His Book a cure."
"But shaykh," said the doctor growing agitated, "these are nothing but words. Illnesses are physical and need physical treatments."
The shaykh leaned over and said, "If you think the Quran is just words then you have no faith, you are truly ignorant, and to make matters worse, you're quite ugly as well, which means your mother and father must have been ugly too!"
"What!?" exclaimed the phsycian. "What manners are these? What are you saying??"
Immediately, the shaykh grabbed the man's pulse and said, "Wow, your heart is racing, your face is red, and your body is heated. All physical reactions resulting from mere words that I uttered. Know that words represent meanings, and meanings have the power to alter the physical. Allah is the creator of words, meanings, causes, & effects and has decreed that His uncreated Word is a cure to physical illnesses. We also promote medical treatment so that the likes of you can remain employed."

"“My child, you have endured seventeen years of pain, driven into your soul by your mother. I can see the hurt in you, and I know you want to give up. I am a fair ruler, and I do not wish for any of my people to suffer. However, the universe must be balanced. I will give you a choice. I can end your suffering, or you can choose not to let another suffer in the way that you have.”
I ran the options over in my head, as memories of my mother flashed through. I just wanted to be done with that part of my life, and never have to see her again, but I didn’t think that would be possible in the foreseeable future. I had already been through seventeen years of this. I didn’t know how many more I could take. However, I knew that my suffering would be worth it if some little girl didn’t have to go through the same things I did. I had made my decision. I wanted to save someone else.
“Good,” the entity voiced, “then I will allow you to do so."
