Black farmers once made up 14 percent of America’s farmers. Today, black farmers account for less than 2 percent. One of them, fourth-generation sugar cane farmer Wenceslaus ‘June’ Provost Jr., is fighting to maintain his family’s farming legacy. June and his family were once part of the 1999 Pigford lawsuit, a massive class-action suit brought against the USDA alleging discriminatory practices. The case resulted in the largest settlement in U.S. government history and an admission of wrongdoing by the USDA.

In episode 5 of Talking Backwards, we’re looking at a concept called Plurality of the mind, where through meditation one could possibly achieve a second separate, sentient consciousness. One community in particular has embraced this thought; through practice, devotion, and meditation, tulpamancers conjure these auxiliary personalities for many reasons- and some are finding it has the potential to treat some of the hardest to treat mental illnesses and disabilities we have today.
We speak with Jacob, a tulpamancer and researcher who has published research on the subject, and see how tulpamancy has positively impacted his life.
