Welcome to More Equity. Today, we’re bringing you part 1 of our female founders series—a collection of honest conversations with trailblazing female founders who are thinking big picture about the state of women in startups and tech.

Today, we’re speaking with Julia Collins, restaurateur and entrepreneur extraordinaire. Julia is the founder and CEO of Planet FWD, a regenerative food platform tackling climate change. Julia spoke with us about the lessons she’s learned from her previous entrepreneurial endeavors,  what it was like to be a pregnant woman of color raising money in Silicon Valley, and the impact she hopes to leave on her family, the sustainability movement, and the world around us.
