Ngan Tran, VietLead: "Our community is already growing in whatever small spaces they have--backyards, even buckets! However, the biggest obstacle to growing in our conversations have been the lack of access to land. As refugees from the wars in Southeast Asia, our community also believes that land and gardening holds a very precious and meaningful place within our hearts. It is a therapeutic escape for us to heal from the scars of the Khmer Rouge genocide and the Vietnam War. With the power of gardening, it gives us strength to believe that those memories may scar us but it cannot and will not leave a permanent mark. We’ve been using the step by step process outlined by the land bank but still face difficulty." Ngan Tran, OurRoots Youth Apprentice, testifying at the Land Bank Hearing standing with fellow Soil Generation members. (Speech cowritten by fellow member Neary Narom) We want an easily accessible, transparent, and accountable Land Bank because we want land to go to the good of the community! #vietlead #ourroots #soilgeneration #phillylandbank #landsovereignty #foodsovereignty (at 1515 Arch St)

A soulful journey into our roots, where simplicity, culture, and traditions came alive, reminding us of the purity and warmth of old times. 🌾🪔💃
