Tracy Lloyd McCurty (Nile Sirius Asantewaa), Esq., Acres of Ancestry/Black Agrarian Fund

I am the Executive Director of the Black Belt Justice Center and the Co-Alchemist of the Acres of Ancestry Initiative/Black Agrarian Fund, a multidisciplinary, mutual aid cooperative ecosystem rooted in Black ecocultural traditions and textile arts to regenerate custodial land ownership, ecological stewardship, and food and fiber economies in the rural South. I am energized by the urgent call to (re)build a decolonized society governed by the values of racial equity, indigenous knowledge, spiritual journeying, and cooperative economy.
