"This place is where the lord has prepared for us to live." -Nan Lewis.

The episode clocks in at 34'57" (download) [mp3]

Malari highlights the Sankofa Community Garden, created by Leia Lewis. There's a lot of optimism in these gardens. Their power to build communities is just starting in Shreveport, in your backyard.
