47: Chrisha Favors - The Radical Homesteader

Chrisha Favors isn't afraid to be her authentic self and spread joy whenever she can! She spends her days tending to her garden and is proud to be a black woman landowner in the state of Oregon. Historically, people of color could not own land in the Pacific Northwest area we now call Oregon. In fact, it was punishable by physical force (and even death) and backed by racist colonizers. Chrisha serves her community with the Black Cultural Initiative, which aims to connect peoples of color with cultural food and traditions, as well as provide safety in the outdoors. Liz and Chrisha talk about all sorts of fun things: mushroom foraging, absolutely diabolical river tubing stories, gardening, and more!Follow Chrisha on Instagram: @naturally_chrisha.Follow Black Cultural Initiative on Instagram: @blackculturalinitiative.Follow Black Cultural Initiative on Facebook.
