194: Supporting Marginalized People in the Craft Fermentation Industry

What started as the Women's International Beer Summit in 2020 to connect female homebrewers to other homebrewers during the pandemic is now the certified 501©3 The Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance (WCFA). The organization, co-founded by Melissa McCann and Michele Wonder, is "dedicated to enabling, empowering, and encouraging women, non-binary folks, and those that have been othered in all facets of the craft fermentation space." Join Tracy, Melissa, and Michele for the last installment of the 2023 Women Making HERstory in Food & Beverage as they talk about how and why the WCFA came about, what they are brewing for the international WIBS: Fermentation Summit, and the importance of allowing folks to tell and share their stories, regardless of where they are from or how they identify.
