Sabrina Williams is Founder and CEO of SEED, a company that helps consumers and underserved farmers grow smart and feed more by democratizing access to agriculture technology.

Sabrina is a native Californian, born and raised in Compton. Her curiosity and passions led her to pursuits in architecture, law, and urban planning. Through her non-profit, she dedicated herself to social justice challenges in urban communities. It was in this arena that Sabrina discovered the core issue that would lead to SEED: food insecurity amongst the most vulnerable, lower income populations. Now her company is bringing together technology, climate policy, and food equity to create more and better access to growing.

Sabrina has a great story. You’ll want to listen in.

In this episode Sabrina and Dan discussed:

• the journey from architecture to law to urban planning
• how SEED started as a big idea and morphed into a huge one
• the link from food equity and social justice
• the connection between Elvis, Karl Marx, and the Blues
• balancing the startup life by playing in a ska band
