Justine Petersen was profiled in the New York Times for their work defending minority-owned businesses in Ferguson, MO—both literally and figuratively.
The story focused on Galen Gondolfi and other team members who formed a protective line around The One And Only BBQ during protests in support of the owner Red Harris.
Justine Petersen runs a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) that lends to many minority-owned businesses using a combination of government funds and private donations.
