They are currently working with HBCUs of University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) and Florida A&M University (FAMU) on a national research and technical assistance project to support equitable access to federal funding among Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) and Hawaiian Pacific Islanders (HP) farmers.<br>
<br>
Qiana and Sheryll are looking for BIPOC farmers and growers from across the U.S. to participate in the project, which will help to identify solutions that truly work for all farmers and growers. </p>
