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. Like Madsen, Enriquez says she hasn’t seen many women of color in the food industry. “When I started, most women were administrative assistants, payroll clerks and accounts receivable clerks,” she says. “There was no woman [in leadership roles], And there were no women of color,” Enriquez said.
