61: Helping People Achieve Financial Independence Through Food
Keitra Bates, Marddy's
When Keitra Bates lost her family-owned pizza shop in a rapidly gentrifying community due to rent hikes and the threat of displacement, she bought a boarded up building in a nearby neighborhood and created Marddy’s, a food incubator with a mission to preserve and promote culinary culture.
By providing local food entrepreneurs who are people of color, women and other marginalized populations a licensed facility for cooks to prepare and distribute their offerings Marddy's is empowering economic inclusion, business development and growth opportunities.
