About this Event

Join us for the second annual BLAK Women In Agriculture event at Martha’s Table in Washington, D.C., where we celebrate the incredible contributions of Black women in farming, gardening, and agriculture. Curated by KIMANI Anku, this event is deeply personal, created to honor his great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother, who inspired his journey as a gardener, farmer, and beekeeper.

This year’s theme, "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," brings together a powerful panel of Black women farmers and gardeners, alongside interactive workshops, and an opportunity to shop with local Black female-owned businesses.
