**Liana** made a career pivot from a fashion and media consultant to overseeing her family's foundation in 2015. Her first initiative has been on creating strategies around healthy food access in the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood in Dorchester, connecting through healthcare, urban agriculture and economic development. Her husband, Michael's work in the restaurant industry through The Achilles Project/Persephone and Area Four was the spark for the food sovereignty work she is currently overseeing.
