Jennifer Bryant
SouthEats
Co-Founder
Washington, DC
In 2016, Jennifer partnered with two of her East of the River neighbors, Joelle Robinson and Xavier Brown, to apply for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Leaders Program. They were one of 40 teams from across the United States selected for the inaugural cohort. Since 2016 the trio has been supported by the foundation in the development and implementation of a transformative, hyper-local public health project at the intersections of urban agriculture, food policy and cooperative economics.
In 2019 they will launch SouthEats, a healthy meal delivery service for residents East of the River. SouthEats mission is to radically shift the way we think about food and ownership. In addition to eliminating food deserts and increasing food access, we aim to build an equitable local food ecosystem cooperatively-owned by low-income DC residents.
