Prosperity Market Features Black Farmers in LA County

Liberation looks like nourishing LA
LA TIMES: Prosperity Market has liberation baked into its DNA. Conceived by Carmen Dianne and Kara Still, the market was created to nourish the community from the inside out. This letter to Los Angeles, as told to Ian F. Blair, commemorates the celebration of freedom from slavery and outlines the duo’s vision for why this kind of work is so vital. With Prosperity Market, the thread of freedom runs through every artery of the operation. As they note, “There’s this thread of freedom throughout the entire thing. This is literally what we represent — the freedom to be able to support and sustain yourself and make it accessible to everyone.”
