What Our Roots Reveal: A Conversation with Dr. Jarvis McInnis

Special coverage from the 84th Professional Agricultural Workers Conference (PAWC) in Montgomery, Alabama.

What can our agricultural roots reveal about the future we’re growing?

Join host Jazzie Jones and co-host Tahani Young of Ladies of the Hive™ – She Hoe. I Smoke. We Farm.™ as we welcome our special guest, Dr. Jarvis C. McInnis, associate professor of English and African & African American Studies at Duke University.

In this conversation, we explore his book, Afterlives of the Plantation: Plotting Agrarian Futures in the Global Black South, and the connections between Black agricultural history, Tuskegee’s legacy, education, and community life.

Through his research and insights, we reflect on the knowledge carried across generations and how understanding that history can inform the work of farmers, beekeepers, educators, and communities today. We also consider why gatherings like PAWC remain important places for sharing knowledge, building relationships, and cultivating opportunities.

This conversation connects with the purpose of ROOTED HERstory™: Researching History while Honoring HERstory™.

Some conversations don’t expire. Sometimes, you have to REWIND. 🎙️

On this TacoBoutIt Tuesdays™ REWIND, host Jazzie Jones revisits a powerful conversation with Kim Hart, author of Pardon My Truth.

What happens when someone you love reveals a truth that changes the life you thought you knew?

It’s about what happens after someone else’s truth alters your truth and your life—and how you learn to walk in forgiveness, acceptance of others, and acceptance of yourself.

Kim’s story takes us beyond the revelation and into what happens afterward—when you have to process what has changed, reconcile your emotions, accept a new reality, and determine how you will move forward.

We TacoBout forgiveness without pretending there wasn’t pain. We talk about accepting another person’s truth without abandoning your own. And we explore the difficult but powerful process of rediscovering yourself when the future you imagined suddenly looks different.

Because sometimes someone else’s truth becomes an unexpected turning point in discovering your own.

Their truth changed. Her life changed. And so did she.

This conversation reaches beyond one marriage or one experience. It’s about truth, relationships, identity, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, healing, and finding yourself again when life changes the story.
