February is Black History Month and we kick things off with the incredible historian, archivist and community leader, Ed Wesley who offers us an astonishing history lesson in the role of African Americans in the building of the ALCAN Highway, the AK Railroad and the arrival of the Buffalo Soliders to our nation's farthest regions in their dedication to their country. Absolutely fantastic conversation.

Theresa Brown is a powerhouse in this community! We cover everything from what permaculture is, how it fits into the new design model, creating community gardens for those in need of food support and so much more! Absolutely fabulous conversation.

Theresa has been gardening in Alaska for 20 years. She previously worked for Bioneers of Alaska where she was first introduced to the concept of permaculture. Went on to get certified in permaculture and helped start the Anchorage Permaculture Guild and Anchor Gardens. She’s also the Organic Gardening Coordinator for Yardacopia a program of Alaska Community Action on Toxics.

At a time when most of us are done with politics, including myself, Tom Begich brings a refreshing and much needed reimagined way of empowering all of us in his vision for Alaska. His consciousness is mature, inclusive and truly the new way! I highly recommend a good listen to this conversation. It's a game changer.
