On Thursday, February 29th, at our Episode 0 listening party, our narrator, free feral, took us on a journey through their upbringing. We met free in San Francisco in the depths of their evolution as a person, musician, and child, along with their complex relationship with the opera-singing, multifaceted ancestor that is their father.
free is the dear friend who is holding our hand as we listen to the story of the Hollowells, the vibrant land stewards of Foxfire Ranch. In Episode 1, we have the pleasure of meeting the luminous Annette Hollowell and getting a glimpse of what has gone into the century-long labor of co-creating Foxfire Ranch.
Get you a seat, a plate, and sumn to burn after you join our ko-fi community ( https://ko-fi.com/wearethepromisedland ) for a super special episode 1 listening party this Thursday, March 21, at 7 PM CST.
What whispers the land? 🌬️✨
Have you ever felt the weight of history beneath your feet? The richness of your ancestors in your smile? The pulsation of transformation swirling in the wind?🌲
In the rolling hills of Waterford, Mississippi, the Hollowell family has journeyed and stewarded land for over a century amidst present and past realities of loss, sacrifice, and the endurance of Black cultural healing modalities like the Blues in all its hues. 🪕
We Are the Promised Land is a journey into their story – a tapestry woven with the echoes of ancestors. Through podcast, poetry, and visuals, we explore the complexities of inheritance, asking:
* What whispers the land of its past?
* What is a promised land, and why is it needed?
* What has been promised by our ancestors and the land?
* How do we honor the legacy of those who came before?
* Can we, too, become the Promised Land for future generations?
Join us this 🗓️ Thursday (2/29) for a virtual listening party with Episode Zero, where we delve deeper into these questions and revel in the enduring spirit of Black land ownership. ✨
