To kick off Women's HERstory month, Tracy is chatting with Jamie Gonzalez, aka the “Puta De La Fruta," who has, since 2020, partnered with over 50 organizations to distribute more than 3 million pounds of food.
With the mantras “Everybody Eats” and “Cultivating Community” she is using her voice and her experience to help people find pathways to quality, affordable, and healthful food choices. Her professional and philanthropic feeding efforts — and actions — are creating private-public partnerships that show there are better ways to feed people, while promoting accessibility, supporting an equitable food system and the economic stability of local food economies, and creating meaningful experiences with produce.
Listen in as Tracy and Jamie talk about how she got here, her greatest accomplishment (so far) and how she intends to continue to ensure that everyone has the right to have the same access and meaningful experiences with food.
