The Green Beetz Story
Green Beetz was founded in 2013 by Dr. Anna Chapman, a psychiatrist, Andrew Chapman, a restauranteur, and Tracey Kemble, an entertainment veteran.
Noticing the lack of healthy food options and nutrition education in Harlem, they decided to bridge their three domains of expertise in science, food, and media to bring Green Beetz to life and engage NYC tweens in historically underserved neighborhoods about the effects of food on our health, our community, and the environment.
Over the past ten years, the organization has grown in immeasurable ways from expansion to funding and partnerships, and adapting to the growing needs of educators.
