As we enter February and celebrate Black History Month with our Food Biz Wiz community, we are excited to revisit this episode with CPG industry veteran Sheryl O’Loughlin on how we can cultivate an inclusive CPG industry that supports Black futures and represents all of us! Sheryl is the co-founder of the JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) Collaborative, the Women on Boards Project, former CEO of REBBL and Clif Bar and Company, and co-founder and former CEO Plum Organics.
In this episode, you’ll hear Sheryl and Alli discuss…
- Why prioritizing just, equitable, and inclusive practices is critical to our industry
- What brands might be able to expect in their journey to becoming a brand that supports anti-racism, equity, and inclusivity
- How Jedi Collaborative's work can support YOUR brand’s particular JEDI journey
- And why these journeys are STILL important for brands who have small teams!
