The Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) named Charisse McGill as their new executive director and she is the first black female to hold the position. The Pennsylvania food entrepreneur will lead the national nonprofit serving 8,000 plus farmers’ markets across America.

The Board of Directors hired McGill after a nationwide search to lead the national nonprofit dedicated to strengthening and supporting the farmer’s markets across the United States while providing real income opportunities for farmers and expanding access in local communities.

The creator of French toast bites spoke to The Philidelphia Tribune about the full circle moment, “I started French Toast Bites from all the information I gained working for many years at the Lansdale Farmers’ Market. Today, my company has grown in staff and revenue. So now I have the opportunity to give back to the organization where I got my start.”

This is so awesome! Congratulations, queen! #BWLM💕
