Winged! Black To The Land w/ Tepfirah Haana

This episode, which I affectionately call; 'Winged: Women In Nature' is a monthly feature of the Center Her Power Podcast. During our conversation, Tepfirah and I touched on a broad range of topics including; racial equity in environmental organizations, how children change when they spend time in nature, leadership, motherhood, kayaking, being biracial and more! Tepfirah, also known as Tee, is a Co director at Keep Growing Detroit and there has assisted hundreds of gardeners with resources and education. In 2020, she helped established the Black Farmer Land Fund which to date has awarded 30 black urban farmers money to purchase land in Detroit. Tepfirah is Board Treasurer of the Detroit People’s Food Coop which is slated to open 2022 and Co-founder or Black to the Land Coalition which connects BIPOC people to outdoor recreation. She is also currently a Board Advisor to several other community projects including RAHAM Detroit, Green Thumbz Consulting, Detroit Environmental Agenda, Detroit Partnership for Learning and Innovation, and Rescue MI Nature Now.
