NAVINA KHANNA, SAMARIA KING, AND TSEDAYE MAKONNEN OVERVIEW ON SUNDAY, JUNE 6, THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS VIRTUALLY WELCOMED GUESTS FOR THE FINAL FRESH TALK OF THE 2020-2021 SEASON FEATURING NAVINA KHANNA, SAMARIA KING, AND TSEDAYE MAKONNEN. EACH SPEAKER ADDRESSED THEIR UNIQUE CONNECTION BETWEEN FOOD AND HEALING. FRESH TALK BEFORE THE PROGRAM BEGAN, THE PUBLIC PROGRAMS DIRECTOR MELANI DOUGLASS INTRODUCED THE GUEST SPEAKERS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDED PRESENTATIONS BY EACH OF THE THREE SPEAKERS THAT CULMINATED IN A CONVERSATION MODERATED BY MELANI DOUGLASS. NAVINA KHANNA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HEAL FOOD ALLIANCE, NAVINA KHANNA BEGAN HER PRESENTATION BY ADDRESSING THAT FOOD IS THE MOST INTIMATE CONNECTION TO OUR COMMUNITY, OUR HEALTH, AND OUR LAND, SO ACKNOWLEDGED THE LOSS OF THIS CONNECTION FOR MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR. SHE SHARED A PRETTY DOOMING PICTURE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS ACCELERATING AT AN ALARMING PACE, LEAVING US WITH NINE YEARS TO RADICALLY SHIFT OUR ECONOMY TO MAKE THE WORLD LIVABLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. NAVINA SHARED HOW OUR FOOD SYSTEM WAS RADICALLY SHIFTED AND SHAPED BY THE MASS GENOCIDE AND FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND KIDNAPPING OF INDIGENOUS AMERICANS AND AFRICANS HAS BEEN THE MOLD FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY. THAT THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BENEFIT THE FEW BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MANY. CURRENTLY, THE CORPORATE FOOD SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY VERY FEW COMPANIES, BE IT FOR BEEF, SUPERMARKETS, OR EVEN THE SEED INDUSTRY. NAVINA HAS HOPE THOUGH THAT IF WE, THE MASSES, BIND TOGETHER TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR US AND OUR COMMUNITIES, WE CAN TAKE THE POWER BACK AND SHARE IT AMONGST OURSELVES TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR OWN LIVES AND HEALTH. HEAL FOOD ALLIANCE WAS CREATED BY FOUR ORGANIZATIONS, THE NATIONAL BLACK FOOD AND JUSTICE ALLIANCE, FOOD CHAIN WORKERS ALLIANCE, REAL FOOD GENERATION, AND THE UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS TO BUILD A STRATEGIC THEORY OF CHANGE. BECAUSE OUR FOOD ISSUES AND THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET ARE SO ENTRENCHED IN THE SYSTEM, IT WILL TAKE HUGE SHIFTS IN OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY TO MAKE REAL CHANGE. TSEDAYE MAKONNEN TSEDAYE MAKONNEN, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST INTRODUCES HER ARTISTIC PROCESS AND WAYS IN WHICH SHE USES HER CULTURE, FOOD, AND ART IN HER HEALING PRACTICE. SHE DESCRIBED HOW SHE UTILIZES UNIQUE ETHIOPIAN PATTERNS THAT HAVE EXISTED SINCE BEFORE CHRISTIANITY IN HER WORK. THEY STEM FROM HER CULTURE AND THROUGH HER RESEARCH, SHE LEARNED THAT THEY ARE FEMININE PATTERNS THAT ARE WORN AND USED FOR HEALING AND PROTECTION. TSEDAYE SHOWCASED THESE PATTERNS IN HER WORK, CREATING LIGHTBOXES THAT CAST THE PATTERNS ONTO THE VIEWER, GIVING THEM HEALING AND PROTECTION. TSEDAYE USED THE LASER-CUTS FROM THE ABOVE WORK IN HER ASTRAL SEA SERIES, WHERE SHE SEWS THEM INTO TEXTILES. THE PATTERNS SHE CREATES ARE ABSTRACT REFERENCES TO CODES FROM VARIOUS BLACK COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD. SHE EMBODIES THE BLACK WOMEN SHE IS HONORING IN HER WORK BY WEARING THESE TEXTILES IN FRONT OF PLACES OF POWER FOR WHITE SUPREMACY, SUCH AS BUCKINGHAM PALACE, THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. SHE THEN HITS THE GROUND WITH THE FABRIC, WASHING THE GROUND WITH IT. AS SHE DOES SO, THE MIRROR PIECES BREAK OFF. SAMARIA KING SAMARIA KING, CO-FOUNDER OF MUTUAL AID APOTHECARY, HERBALIST, AND FARMER. SHE CO-FOUNDED MUTUAL AID APOTHECARY AS A RESPONSE TO COVID-19, MAKING HERBAL MEDICINE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE IN SOUTHEAST DC WHO DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE. THE PROGRAM STARTED OUT OF THE FARM AT KELLY MILLER AND STARTED WITH VOLUNTEERS. NOW, IT IS OPEN TO HERBALISTS THROUGHOUT DC AND THEY NOW PROVIDE MORE TARGETED PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES FOR THEIR COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE FRIDAY PROGRAMS FROM 3-6 P.M. ON THE FIRST FRIDAY, THEY PROVIDE TIPS ON GROWING YOUR OWN PLANTS FOR HERBAL NEEDS. THEY PROVIDE CLASSES FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN HOW TO BECOME HERBALISTS ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF THE MONTH. ON THE THIRD FRIDAY, AUDIENCES CAN COME TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE HERBAL MEDICINES SO THEY CAN MAKE THE PRODUCTS THEMSELVES IF THEY WOULD LIKE. COMMUNITY DAYS ROUND OUT THE MONTH, WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN GET FREE MEDICINES, FRESH AND DRIED HERBS, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR FOLKS TO TAKE HOME. SAMARIA TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THEY HAVE BUILT TO DO THIS WORK, AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVE. THEY HAVE CONNECTED FARMERS WITH HERBALISTS SO EVERYONE CAN GET THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. CLINICAL HERBALISTS HAVE ALSO BECOME PART OF THE COMMUNITY, SO THEY CAN BETTER ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY MUTUAL AID APOTHECARY SERVES. AS PART OF THEIR WORK, SAMARIA'S ORGANIZATION PROVIDES THEIR HERBAL MEDICINES FREE OF CHARGE AS THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVE HAS HEALTH DISPARITIES. ANCESTRAL HERITAGE IS ALSO PART OF THE WORK SAMARIA IS DOING. SHE VIEWS THIS WORK AS A CONTINUING LEGACY OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY AS HERBAL MEDICINE HAS BEEN A TRADITION FOR A LONG TIME. CONVERSATION THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE FOUR WOMEN STARTED WITH A QUESTION FROM MELANI ABOUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIG QUESTIONS THEIR WORK REQUIRES AND WHAT SOME ANSWERS THEY HAVE FOUND. SAMARIA TALKED ABOUT FOR HER AND HER ORGANIZATION, SHE'S BEEN EXPLORING WHAT HEALING IS AND HOW THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO HER LARGER COMMUNITY. BY ASKING THAT QUESTION, SHE FOUND A UNIQUE GROUP OF PEOPLE ALSO INTERESTED IN HERBAL HEALING. TSEDAYE TALKED ABOUT THAT SHE HAS ALSO EXPLORED HEALING AND COMMUNITY, AND THAT THROUGH HER OWN JOURNEY SHE BECAME AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND HEAL THEMSELVES. HER HEALING JOURNEY HELPED VALIDATE AND ELEVATE OTHER BLACK WOMEN, ESPECIALLY OTHER ARTISTS BUT ALSO HER AUDIENCE AT LARGE. NAVINA BROUGHT UP A QUESTION THAT IS CLOSE TO HER HEART, WHICH IS HOW DO WE BECOME MORE LAND-BASED GIVEN THE SYSTEMS THAT WE HAVE INHERITED AND REINFORCED. SO FOR HER, SHE WONDERS WHERE IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR TO GAIN LAND TO DO THE DEEP HEALING WORK THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A MELANI THEN ASKED EVERYONE TO ELABORATE ON HOW EACH OF THEIR INNER HEALING BENEFITED THEIR COMMUNITY AT LARGE. TSEDAYE SHARED THAT FOR HER, HER INNER WORK LED TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF SELF-CONFIDENCE AND BOLDNESS. THAT BY TAKING UP SPACE, SHOWING UP AS HER TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF, SHE IS NOW BOLD ENOUGH TO DO WHATEVER SHE FEELS HER ARTWORK NEEDS. WHICH IN TURN, SERVES AS AN EXAMPLE FOR HER AUDIENCE TO ALSO FEEL CONFIDENT TAKING UP SPACE, BEING THEIR TRUE AUTHENTIC SELVES AS WELL. SAMARIA BROUGHT UP THAT FOR HER, PRIORITIZING HER OWN SELF-CARE IS ESSENTIAL TO HER WORK. SHE CAN ONLY MAINTAIN HER LEVEL OF PASSION AND PROVIDING CARE FOR OTHERS BY MAKING SURE SHE CARES FOR HERSELF. NAVINA EXPANDED ON THIS THAT BY PERFORMING SELF-CARE, WE ARE DECOLONIZING OURSELVES AGAINST CAPITALISM. SHE ALSO HAS TO WORK ON THIS, AS SHE FEELS SHE MUST POOR MORE IN WORK, BUT THAT BY SLOWING DOWN AND CARING FOR OURSELVES, WE ARE BEGINNING THE WORK AGAINST THE SYSTEM. AS THE TOPIC OF SELF-CARE CAME UP, MELANI ASKED HOW INDIVIDUALLY THEY WERE CARING FOR THEMSELVES. TSEDAYE MENTIONED THAT FOR HER, SHE NEEDED A PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO MAKE THE TIME FOR HER TO REPLENISH HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WAS DOING SO MUCH. SAMARIA WORKED WITH HER PARTNER FOR MUTUAL AID APOTHECARY TO SCHEDULE THEIR WORK MORE EQUITABLY. WITH HER SCHEDULE, SHE THEN WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE BEACH, VISIT HER MOM, AND SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH HER THREE CHILDREN. MELANI THEN ASKED NAVINA HOW THE NEED FOR REST AND SLOWING DOWN CAN WORK WITH THIS VERY SHORT DEADLINE TO TURN THE PLANET AROUND. NAVINA ANSWERED BY SAYING WE NEED A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN VALUES. THAT EVERYONE'S TIME IS THE SAME, EVERYONE'S LABOR IS VERY IMPORTANT. THROUGH HER ORGANIZATION AND LEADERSHIP, SHE MODELS A VALUE SYSTEM WHERE EMPLOYEES HAVE A GOOD WORK AND LIFE BALANCE IN ORDER TO DECOLONIZE THE WORK THEY DO. THE CONVERSATION THEN SWITCHED TO LABOR AND WHAT WE VALUE IN LABOR EXCHANGES. WITH THE RECENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC, EVERYONE HAS BEEN RE-EVALUATING HOW OUR LABOR SYSTEM WORKS. MELANI MENTIONED HOW PEOPLE NO LONGER WANT TO EXCHANGE THEIR DIGNITY FOR A PAYCHECK GIVEN THE POOR WORKING CONDITIONS. NAVINA THEN BROUGHT UP THAT MANY ESSENTIAL WORKERS DURING THE PANDEMIC WERE LABELED AS SUCH JUST TO KEEP THE ECONOMY AFLOAT, BUT NO ONE WAS PROTECTING THEM. SAMARIA SHARED HER PERSPECTIVE THAT WORKING DURING THE PANDEMIC ACTUALLY INTENSIFIED HER WORK IN AGRICULTURE. BY LABELING AGRICULTURE WORKERS AS ESSENTIAL, IT ALMOST FORCED HER TO WORK MORE RATHER THAN CONTINUING TO DO SO AT A NORMAL PACE IN SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION DURING THE PANDEMIC. NAVINA SHARED AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE THAT WE COULD SHIFT THE FOOD SYSTEM WHERE WE ALL PARTICIPATED IN THE FOOD SYSTEM INSTEAD OF 21 MILLION PEOPLE, SO THERE WOULDN'T BE THIS SAME PRESSURE ON A SELECT NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THAT WE COULD CREATE A LABOR FORCE THAT WAS A MIX OF MANUAL AND CREATIVE LABOR FOR EVERYONE. "CAN I QUOTE YOU?"
