Joining us is Xochitl Lujan -Mother, Educator, Community Organizer and South Central Farmer Community Supported Agriculture Cooperative Member. We will dialoguing about the upcoming Farmchella, a celebration you are all invited to by the South Central Farmers. Also joining the conversation as we learn more about the June 12 Farmchella and what we are all celebrating is Mira Tweti an award-winning investigative journalist who has written for the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Village Voice, L.A. Weekly-as well as launching the first annual Blue Planet Film Fest in Santa Monica, CA, first animal-welfare & environmental film festival and forum to raise mainstream awareness and motivation about the most important issues of our time: saving the earth and the biodiversity in it, via post-screening audience interactive events.
Later we will have a conversation with Michelle Huneven author of Blame. Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander and Paint It Black writes “In Blame, a guilty protagonist strives for the good and achieves the beautiful—and, eventually, the truth. Huneven’s supple, world-loving prose elevates small gestures into redemptive acts and everyday objects into restorative gifts, rewarding the reader on every page.”
