We're talking cooperative retail and emergency food distribution in response to local needs in Brooklyn, with Shaquana Boykin, Food Sovereignty Organizer for the Central Brooklyn Food Cooperative, a start-up incubated by Brooklyn Movement Center in Brooklyn, NY.  The food distribution project was conducted in partnership with Brooklyn Packers, a Black-owned, cooperative food distribution company.   Shaquana also talks about her experience engaging communities through voting and her role as a recently elected District Leader of Assembly District 57.
