Welcome to Crossing the Chasm. On today’s episode, I am joined by Malik Yakini, co-founder and former executive director of the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network. In that capacity, he provided leadership and vision on many projects, including the Detroit Food Policy Council, the D-Town Farm, and the Detroit Food Commons. On today’s show we talk about Malik’s work around food justice and black sovereignty, the history of Detroit, and his assessment of the present moment in society. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
