Cayla Casciani has been a co-coordinator of Morning Glory Garden, a Bronx community garden centered on food production and distribution, since 2015. In this role, she has developed their harvest box program, producing hundreds of bags of fresh local organic produce each year, while also organizing garden programming and managing community partnerships. As a lifelong plant lover, her interests include herbalism, natural dyeing and dry gardening practices.

Over the past twelve years, Regina Ginyard has worked to address the inequalities around access to healthy food in marginalized communities, as a community organizer, urban farmer, capacity-builder and conference convener. Currently, Regina works as the Events and Partnership Development Manager at WhyHunger.
