Early in the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) journey, we recognized the importance of creating shared definitions to construct a mutual understanding of the path we were embarking on. To assist in measuring the impacts we introduced the new game changer label identified by colorful sea burst.
Weaver Street Market builds upon the Merriam-Webster definition of a game changer as “a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way.” Our Game Changers are, in addition, “companies and brands whose ownership is 51% or more BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or People of Color),” which aligns with the definition outlined by the Minority Business Enterprise. We implemented this new attribute to help our Game Changer partners build their brand reputation and allow for sustainable growth.
Recognizing the importance of the products on shelves and the partners that share their work with us, we will take this time to highlight the story behind some of these Game Changers and thank them for their contributions. We thank and welcome each of you for continuing to join us on our journey, and we invite you to learn more about our partners as we do!
