🚨 On Day 14 of #ScaleBlack for #BlackHistoryMonth, we spotlight Jasmine Crowe-Houston, an award-winning social entrepreneur and Founder & CEO of Goodr—a blockchain-powered platform tackling food insecurity and food waste nationwide. Before Goodr, Jasmine fed hundreds from her apartment, hosting weekly pop-up meals that served 500 people—all funded from her own pocket. When a 2016 viral video of her work spread online, people kept asking one question: Who donated the food? The answer was simple but powerful: She did—even while managing her own tight budget. 💡 This breakthrough moment sparked action—in 2017, she launched Goodr. 🍽️ A Smarter Way to Fight Hunger In the U.S., 72 billion pounds of perfectly good food go to waste every year, costing $400B, while 54 million people struggle with food insecurity.
