    I heard Vernon speak at a California Conference and was a melted stick of butter in my seat; the information is all right here. The interviews are with the professionals in the field with many of not all the answers! Highly recommended!

Q: Let me start off by asking you, what drew you into cooperative development work?
Her early curiosity about economics and a shift from purely mathematical models to human-centered concerns, inspired by readings like Small is Beautiful, led her to see cooperative development as a way to honor people and the earth.
International Year of  the Woman Farmer Series: Episode II with Karen Washington
Q: What barriers do Black women farmers face regarding land, capital, and recognition, and how are you addressing them?

International Year of  the Woman Farmer Series: Episode II with Karen Washington
Q: How did you transition from gardening in backyards and vacant lots to forming formal educational and cooperative networks like Black Urban Growers?
By recognizing the power of collective action, seeking like-minded women, and turning opportunities (conferences, networks) into organized efforts that challenge white-centered narratives and create spaces for Black women to lead.
International Year of  the Woman Farmer Series: Episode II with Karen Washington
Q: What does it mean to recognize women farmers globally in this way?
It highlights that women have long been central to feeding communities and that their leadership and knowledge must be acknowledged and supported, not marginalized; it also connects personal history with a broader movement toward cooperative ownership and community resilience.
Caroline Shenaz Hossein discusses The Banker Ladies, and  the Future of Solidarity Economies
Q: What personal experience shaped your understanding of finance and dignity?
