Meet Shirlette Ammons (Shirlette Ammons), creator and host of Tending, the six-part podcast series airing on #Gravy this fall. Tending explores the ongoing struggles of Black farmers through the lens of Pigford v. Glickman, one of the largest civil rights class-action lawsuits in U.S. history.

Ammons is an accomplished musician, documentary producer, and—most importantly—the granddaughter of a Black farmer from Eastern North Carolina. She has worked on the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning A Chef’s Life, Somewhere South, and May The Lord Watch: The Little Brother Story. Her 2024 self-released album SPECTACLES was named one of the year’s best by NPR’s Sound Opinions.
