Cassandra visits her "wine mom," Denise Clarke, the only Black Woman winemaker in San Diego County. Denise owns and runs Altipiano Vineyard in Escondido, California. She is an award-winning winemaker, with visitors often asking, "who's the winemaker?" The 2007 fires in San Diego devastated her avocado fields motivating her to plant grapes. Denise is adding to the history of the Highland Valley Wine Trail in San Diego County and creating generational wealth. Dr. Ricky Shabazz, the President of San Diego City College, and Donna DeBerry, President and CEO of the County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce, discuss the importance of closing the Black wealth gap and creating equity in education and business.
