Tepfirah Rushdan discusses her personal experiences with the Detroit River as a site of spiritual connection, ceremony, and cleansing and how this has influenced her leadership in organizations like the Black to the Land Coalition, which strives to reconnect Black and Brown folks with the land and water from which they have historically been alienated.

Finally, she looks toward the future and how these farming practices may play a crucial role in combating climate change in the Great Lakes region.
