Today, participants in Acres: Cultivating Equity in Black Agriculture began applying for National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDCHQ). Please help me celebrate these newly applied MBE members Brandon Gerrins, Niki Gerrins, Chris Muse, Brian Guidry, Tesha B. Guidry, NCET, Tonya Cryer, Tamu Green of Southern Region Minority Supplier Development Council. We are also celebrating Sam Cobb Farms. of Western Regional Minority Supplier Development Council (WRMSDC), an affiliate of NMSDC. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the dynamic certification team. Constance (CJ) Jones, MBA and Alyssa Wesley for their leadership and assistance. This program is working to close opportunity and wealth gaps for Black Farmers. A huge part of the certification process, that we often don't think about, is the anxiety that comes with gathering/uploading the documentation and what I like to call the "I don't know" questions found in the application. What we do, to remedy this, is provide support. Support is an equitable practice! Equity isn't limited to dollars. Dollars are important; however, support in accessing and managing this NEW acquired dollars/position/audience is equity in action. Strategic utilization of time and support level playing fields and that my dear LinkedIn friends grounds equity work! #equity #nmsdc #cargill #unfi #walmart #blackfarmers Jetheda Hernandez, Brandi W., Natalie Chantal McGrady, Valencia Cooper, Lori Rodriques (she, her, hers), Kristine Creveling, MPH, RD, Marc Winston, and Monique Carswell
