Hey Soil Cousins! 

What do farming, FX's original series “Atlanta,” and community have in common? Whether you're a fan of FX’s “Atlanta”, the American comedy-drama television series created by Donald Glover, or not, you'll enjoy this conversation. 

Today, we're diving into the perils of farm life through the lens of a contemporary Black cultural character’s farming experience. One of our favorite fictional characters, Paperboi, played by Brian Tyree Henry, was a staple in FX’s *Atlanta* series. 

We’re discussing some botanical and agricultural aspects of FX’s *Atlanta*, specifically Season 4, Episode 9, titled "Andrew Wyeth. Alfred's World." In this episode, Paperboi purchases and moves to a farm alone in the middle of nowhere, where he cultivates cannabis plants. We'll delve into how Alfred’s experiences on the farm reflect broader issues of identity, self-reliance, and resilience in the Black community. 

 Joining us in conversation today is native Atlantan and fan of FX’s “Atlanta,” journalist Kelundra Smith. She is a multifaceted talent who’s as comfortable in the world of arts and culture as she is in her own imagination. The Impact Theatre Atlanta and Synchronicity Theatre will present the world premiere of Kelundra Smith's “The Wash” this summer.
