A few weeks ago, we announced the [Black Futures in Food & Beverage Fellowship Program](/content/blogs/news/introducing-black-futures-in-food-beverage-fellowship-program "black-futures-in-food-and-beverage-fellows"/index.html). Through this program, eight fellows from participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (including Howard University, NC A&T, Clark Atlanta and Florida A&M) will engage virtually in workshops, fireside chats, panels, and conversations with some of the food & beverage industry’s most impactful leaders.

The fellowship will culminate in a virtual capstone project and “demo day” that will call executive leadership from household name brands to consider each fellow for a spring / summer 2021 internship.

And now for the exciting news! We're thrilled to introduce our new Black Futures in Food and Beverage fellows! We're inspired by their energy and eagerness to learn about the CPG industry. Join us in congratulating them and read on to learn more about each fellow!
