"We were founded before women had the right to vote in this country," says Fraites-Dow of the Girl Scouts. "If you think about that type of leadership and trailblazing of Juliette Gordon Low, we're really helping girls to find their voice.
"When it comes to food equity, I really think about the stance that Black people have had in America, especially as farmers," Barfield says. "They really are the true trailblazers of making sure that food exists in America. I'm really proud that I get to pick up that shovel." Barfield also told us that her next move is a corner store with a farm and a market selling Philly staples like hoagies and cheesesteaks.says Barfield and Fraites-Dow were chosen among hundreds of entries.
