The award is more than just a trophy or a check; it’s a recognition of the sacred work we all do together—connecting faith, food, and justice.
The conference itself was a powerful reminder that change doesn’t happen in isolation. Dr. Brown joined panel discussions and workshops alongside other inspiring leaders, sharing ideas, strategies, and stories of transformation. Again and again, he returned to the heart of our mission: ensuring that Black communities have the tools, resources, and collective power to feed themselves with dignity and pride.
As we celebrate this milestone, we do so knowing it belongs to all of us. To everyone who has supported BCFSN—whether by tending a garden, sharing our story, or offering a prayer of encouragement—this moment is your moment too.
And this, beloved community, is just the beginning.
