Transformative Keynotes on Food Justice & Black History
LaDonna Sanders Redmond brings decades of organizing, scholarship, and lived experience to stages across the country — from university convocations to national food policy conferences.
Topics
What LaDonna Speaks On
Food Justice as Civil Rights
An examination of how access to healthy, culturally affirming food is inseparable from the broader struggle for racial equity — drawing on history, policy, and community organizing.
Black Agrarianism & Land Sovereignty
Recovering the deep tradition of Black farming, land stewardship, and agricultural knowledge that has been systematically erased — and what reclaiming it means today.
Community Food Systems & Urban Agriculture
How communities are building food sovereignty from the ground up — through urban farms, community gardens, cooperative markets, and policy advocacy.
The Politics of Nourishment
A deep dive into how food policy, nutrition science, and cultural narratives have been weaponized against Black communities — and how we reclaim the story.
Organizing for Food Equity
Practical frameworks for building food justice movements — from coalition building and policy advocacy to community education and direct action.
What people say
From the Audience
LaDonna's keynote was the most powerful session of our entire conference. She connected history, policy, and personal story in a way that moved the entire room to action.
She doesn't just speak — she transforms. Our students left her talk with a completely different understanding of food, race, and power.
LaDonna is the rare speaker who can hold a room of policy wonks and community organizers equally rapt. Her scholarship is impeccable, her storytelling is electric.
