KD Randle (they/them) is a Black, southern, queer, genderfluid person currently living in Jackson, Mississippi. They’re a lifelong learner, visionary, creator, their mother’s youngest seed, a friend, partner, dog parent, and former farm apprentice at Sipp Culture. This episode weaves together audio diaries recorded on KD’s commutes to and from the farm, and an interview with their mother: Reverend Sandras Anderson. They reflect on the legacy of Black farmers, returning home and falling back in love with rural MS, divine androgyny, spirituality, abundance, and more.
