What do sunrises mean to you? I see every sunrise as an opportunity An opportunity to live out our mission on Earth The HoodHealer reminds us, as long as we have the breath we have options Ujima Jams are an option we have to support Black land stewards in the DMV and connect with like-minded souls. To end the month of June, UJ participants supported Farmer Marcus Roberson, Keisha Napper and Angie French on the farm they steward in Alexandria, VA. WoodBox Farm is an incubator that focuses on soil health, community engagement and multigenerational outreach. Together, these land stewards produce seasonal fruits and vegetables from soil they have cultivated for 7 seasons. During this rising Ujima Jam, participants planted rows of sugar baby watermelons. We also weeded beds that are home to hibiscus, sunflowers, corn, beans and squash. It was a beautiful opportunity to build community with other land stewards and Earth healers who were eager to support WoodBox Farm's seasonal goals. Farmer Marcus Roberson, Keisha Napper, and Angie French, thank you for teaching us about regenerative agriculture and the necessity of sunrise work on the farm. Photo Credit: MJ
