Jacquelyn Sullivan (she/her) is a North Carolina resident and a recent graduate of Guilford College where she studied Political Science and Community Studies. She has spent the past few years learning and growing in her passion for food justice, and has worked particularly with communities experiencing food insecurity and homelessness in Greensboro, N.C. During her time at Guilford, she has gained the skills to be critical and reflective about our food system, an understanding that was transformative in her further work locally and with the National Farm to School Network. She is driven by the need for a comprehensive and anti-oppressive food system that is focused on anti-poverty and anti-hunger, and centers the voices and needs of communities farthest removed from achieving autonomy over their food system.
