Yet founding Free Food Fridge Albany wasn’t exactly a cakewalk for Jammella Anderson.
The Albany resident, who was featured on the cover of Time magazine earlier this year, started the project shortly after leaving her nonprofit job in early March of 2020.
“I quit, and then the next day we found out that they were shutting down everything. So obviously, panic ensued for me,” Anderson said.
Luckily, community members reached out and supported her. She began teaching virtual yoga classes, which also helped.
At the same time, the Clifton Park native started speaking out more about her experience as a Black woman in the Capital Region.
