Inspired by her experiences as a single working mother
living in a marginalized community, Tanya Fields founded the BLK ProjeK in 2009
as a response to sexist institutional policies, structurally reinforced cycles
of poverty, and harsh inequities in wealth and access to capital that result in
far too many women being unable to rise out of poverty and sustain their
families. The group was nominated for a 2011 Union Square Award and Tanya has
the honor of being a Green for All
Fellows, through which she connects with a national cohort of environmental
justice change agents. With a Bachelor’s in Political Science from Baruch
College, and a talent for public speaking, blogging and singing, Tanya has
become a sought after speaker. She
provided a widely praised keynote speech at the 2012 Just Food conference, and
served as a plenary panelist for the 2011 conference of the Northeast
Sustainable Agriculture Working Group. Previous to the BLK ProjeK, Tanya worked
with several high profile environmental organizations located in the South
Bronx - Mothers on the Move, Sustainable South Bronx and the Majora Carter
Group. Tanya built upon the
network, skills, resources and knowledge she gained through those experiences
to create the BLK ProjeK. She is a reputed and rising public speaker and
educator. She has spoken, conducted workshops and participated on panels at
Just Food Annual Conference, NOFA NY Winter Conference, Manhattanville College,
Kingsboro College, Brooklyn Food Coalition, NEWSAWG and others. She currently writes
a twice monthly column on food and food justice for EBONY.com and contributed a
chapter for the book "The Next Eco-Warriors" by Emily Hunter
