EPISODE #155: Rooted in Change: Delphine Sellars’ Vision for Agriculture, Equity & Urban Empowerment

In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I sit down with Delphine Godley Sellars, co-founder of Urban Community AgriNomics (UCAN). Just like we runners know the importance of fueling well and respecting the process, Delphine’s work is all about transforming food access, environmental justice, and community resilience in Northern Durham.We talk about how a vision of healthy food, soil justice, and youth empowerment led Delphine and her sister Lucille to launch a nonprofit that’s already donated over 100,000 lbs of fresh produce, restored heritage land, and built bridges across generations through education.I loved my conversation with Delphine Sellars about the parallels between UCAN’s mission of harvesting food and a runner’s journey. UCAN empowers communities to be less reliant on the outside world—just like running teaches us to discover the world one step at a time. We may not be gathering food on our runs, but we’re harvesting something different: lessons, resilience, and a deeper connection to nature, step by step, minute by minute, mile by mile. Please tune in and get inspired by a grassroots leader who’s cultivating impact the same way we build fitness: one step, one seed, one act at a time!Follow UCAN & Enjoy the California Land & Food Security Resources Below:https://www.conservationfund.org/our-impact/impact-map/california/https://benefitscheckup.org/program/foodsupp_ca_commodity_supphttps://www.cafoodbanks.org/find-food/https://cafarmtofork.cdfa.ca.gov/farm_to_fork/resources/food_access.htmlUCAN WebsiteUCAN InstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, head to Apple Podcasts and tap the +Follow button to stay in the loop.
