Dr. Kimberly McGlonn grew up in Milwaukee, the daughter of justice activists on the Northside of the city. Her 18 years of classroom teaching about marginalization in the American story & European colonialism have shaped her insights into the intersections of environmental justice & social justice. In 2017 while serving as an elected Councilwoman in Montgomery County, she founded Grant Blvd, a Philadelphia-based, women-owned & family-operated start-up committed to creating fair wage employment opportunities in sustainable fashion for marginalized folks, particularly those who have an experience with incarceration.
