Meet the Black Women Leading the Way for Plant-Based Foods

Sandy Enriquez says that while running with Olympic athletes at California State University, Northridge instilled in her the skills and focus needed to run a business. After founding three national organic vinegar brands in his career—including Bragg and Fleischmann’s—Enriquez is now president of Mother Earth Vinegar. The Southern California-based company’s products include: organic apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, white vinegar, and Keurig-compatible Superfood Tea Pods.
