Two Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women Join Isiah Enterprises Board to Drive Sustainable Growth

One World Products, Inc., soon to be renamed Isiah Enterprises, announced the appointment of Ambassador Ertharin Cousin to its Board of Directors, creating a rare alignment of leadership with Minyon Moore that brings together two of Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women on a single board. This strategic move positions the company at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth as it transitions to Isiah Enterprises and expands its focus on renewable materials and circular economy manufacturing. Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of One World Products, emphasized the significance of these appointments, stating that these leaders bring proven judgment and real-world execution capabilities that have shaped policy, built coalitions, and delivered measurable results for communities.

The company is currently executing in automotive packaging markets while expanding into food packaging, two sectors where its capabilities and partnerships can scale responsibly and deliver long-term value. Ambassador Cousin brings more than four decades of global leadership across public, private, and social sectors, having served as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme from 2012 to 2017 and as U.S. Ambassador to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture from 2009 to 2012. She previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Feeding America and later founded Food Systems for the Future to accelerate sustainable innovation in food equity. Her corporate experience includes senior leadership at Albertsons Companies, and she has been recognized on TIME's 100 Most Influential People list in addition to Forbes' honor.

Minyon Moore, who leads Dewey Square Group's State and Local Affairs and Multicultural Strategies practices, brings extensive experience in political and corporate affairs, public policy, and brand strategy. Her career includes service as Assistant to the President and Director of White House Political Affairs under President Bill Clinton, senior advisory roles in the Biden Harris Administration, and prior service as CEO of the Democratic National Committee. Most recently she served as Chair of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Moore emphasized that having two Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women on the same board represents substance rather than symbolism, reflecting a shared belief in leadership that listens, collaborates, and acts with courage.

The company's transition to Isiah Enterprises marks a defining step in broadening its focus to automotive sustainability, renewable materials, and circular economy manufacturing. Recent operational milestones include the successful launch and scaling of a rubber compounds product line using existing equipment, with more than 100,000 pounds shipped to date. By leveraging its prime location within the nation's manufacturing corridor and deepening partnerships across automotive, packaging, and industrial markets, the company is advancing a growth model built on innovation, jobs, and measurable environmental impact. Ambassador Cousin highlighted that the company reflects what the future of business should be, where sustainability, equity, and economic empowerment are not competing goals but complementary objectives that create value for both people and the planet.
