About Soulful Seeds
The storytelling and media platform of Roots to Growth
Soulful Seeds is more than a podcast — it is a living archive of food, land, culture, and community stories.
Rooted in the belief that storytelling is a form of nourishment, Soulful Seeds documents the voices, traditions, and lived experiences that shape our food systems and connect us across generations.
Through documentary-style conversations with farmers, chefs, culture keepers, elders, and community leaders, Soulful Seeds captures stories that are often overlooked but deeply essential. These narratives explore the relationships between food and identity, land and legacy, culture and resilience.
As part of Roots to Growth, Soulful Seeds also serves as a learning platform that inspires youth to see storytelling as a tool for education, preservation, and leadership. Stories become classrooms. Conversations become curriculum. Food becomes a bridge between past, present, and future.
From Southern farms to community kitchens, each episode honors the wisdom carried in our foodways and uplifts the people who continue to nourish their communities through knowledge, care, and connection.
Soulful Seeds invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that the stories we tell about food and land help shape who we are, and who we are becoming.
