It's our fourth episode and we're bringing in a friend to crash the party! June Shanahan is a transfeminine poet turned farmer based in so called Pennsylvania on occupied Lenape land. They have a deep investment in queer liberation and decolonization as they intersect with food justice, public health, spirituality, and storytelling. In this episode, we're breaking down environmental justice. We speak with June about their transition from the city to farm life, their thoughts on queerness in agriculture, and last but not least, on complicating notions of our diets (meat-eating, vegetarian, vegan) and how they are serving the movement.
