If you have children who are [Black] immediately have them learn another language other than [english if they don't already speak one].
Age 13-18 have them learn a trade skill.
18 -25 have them spend time abroad especially Africa. [By 2035 one in four young professionals in the world will be in Africa.]
All of us need to learn to farm.

The Trump administration announced a $12 billion aid package to help U.S. farmers cope with economic losses caused by tariffs and market disruptions, with payments expected by the end of February. President Trump emphasized the relief as a way to share tariff revenue with farmers, expressing support for the agricultural sector. However, critics like John Boyd of the National Black Farmers Association argue that the aid largely benefits large-scale white farmers and excludes many Black farmers due to long-standing institutional barriers, mistrust, and reporting issues. Boyd, representing 150,000 Black farmers, noted that systemic discrimination has prevented many Black farmers from accessing the aid, raising concerns about equity and targeted support for marginalized farmers. Will this relief address the broader needs of all farmers?

#Georgia [USA] - ‘Without Walls’ Farmers Market makes debut in #GardenCityGA
By Brontë Sorotsky
Published: Jul. 26, 2025GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - "A new initiative to help #LowerIncome families buy #HealthyFood and make smart choices kicked off Saturday in Garden City.
" '#FeedTheHungry' is meeting people where they’re at to make the community as a whole healthier.
"From #okra to #nectarines, a new farmer’s market in Garden City has no shortage of healthy options. The idea for this farmer’s market came from a lack of resources when it comes to fresh foods.
" 'Trying to address #FoodDeserts in this community. And what does a #FoodDesert mean? That means limited access to fresh food,' said Charice Stroud, a volunteer with Feed the Hungry.
"Stroud is working alongside state representative Carl Gilliard to increase that access with the start of the first '#WithoutWalls' #FarmersMarket.
"On Saturday, this new farmer market kicked off with #pickling demonstrations, fresh juice making, farmer’s selling #LocalProduce, and more.
" 'It builds a healthier community, right? That’s our overall goal,' Stroud explained.
"Feed the hungry is partnering with #AgraUnity, a coalition of #BlackFarmers that focuses on supplying the food deserts In #WestChathamCounty.
"Those local farmers will be selling their products, allowing people in the community to access farm to table food at a more affordable price.
" 'We want to empower people. And a part of that is your health, what you’re consuming each and every day. So, you can come in and get some good ideas for what to bring back to your home and your family,' Stroud said.
"The 'Without Walls' Farmers Market will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4704 Augusta Road in Garden City."

Brown’s *First Fruits Farms* has donated over 1.5 million pounds of food, including sweet potatoes and blueberries, to those in need.

I spent a large part of my childhood in a small Southwestern Ohio town where Black folks were raised on Black family farms and often spent weekends and holidays on the farm with their "Country Cousins".
My cousin Vernon's family able to keep their farm, but almost all the families I knew lost theirs, and white folks laughed in their faces, openly claimed it was because Black Farmers were lazy, didn't know how to run a farm, and were bad at business.

The #Biden administration's failure to deliver promised #COVID relief to #BlackFarmers has deepened existing racial inequities in agriculture. Despite legislation aimed at rectifying historic discrimination, many #BlackFarmers still struggle to access aid, exacerbating financial hardships and perpetuating systemic racism in federal agricultural policies.
