    Ruin Their Crops
    Thank you this excellent interview! The MAGA bunch are in love with RFK Jr. and say they care about health in America. Yet, many are completely unaware of how corporate ag has complete control over not just food but also our fuel industry. Been a fan for a long time. So glad you’re back!

    Excited about this podcast!!!
    Such an exceptional addition to the conversation around race! Though these conversations are never ending and so seemingly insurmountable, I am happy to know that there is a space with people who choose to tackle these important issues with such rigor and care; with people who ask all the questions that we all need to ponder when we have our own conversations - whether it be with our friends, our communities, our politicians. Thank you Vinita for the much-needed conversation. I am excited to hear more.
