My name is Jessica Robyns and I'm an AmeriCorps volunteer serving at the College of Menominee Nation. I've met many inspiring people since starting my service that are doing incredible work in food sovereignty. I think they deserve to be recognized, so I'm sharing their stories with the world through interviews. I hope they inspire you!
