## Resource

Carmen Dianne and Kara Still launched Prosperity Market during the pandemic to bring fresh food and economic power to Black communities in Los Angeles—with no background in farming, no trailer, and no blueprint. Scrappy pop-ups in church parking lots grew into an 80-vendor operation, a Good Morning America segment, and an unexpected partnership with Dr. Dre.
