We continue the Faces of Reparations series in episode 8. In this episode we were lucky enough to interview Ashley Drakeford. We learned about her profession, passion for urban gardening, and why she is a strong supporter of reparations.

In this episode we even learned about the fact that her family lineage can be traced all the way back to the Capitol Heights, MD area where she grew up and currently lives. Her family was enslaved, freed, and ultimately remained in the area that they currently reside in generation after generation.

Another topic of discussion centered around the idea of giving land in big cities to Black American descendants of slaves who could live on and farm the land as urban gardeners.
