Sharon Prince is the CEO and Founder of Grace Farms Foundation, a private operating foundation established in 2009 to advance good through engagement with nature, arts, justice, community, and faith. Prince has fought to disrupt contemporary slavery and violence against women on a local and global scale. In 2016, she co-hosted a convening with the United Nations University entitled Fighting Human Trafficking in Conflict, which resulted in a published report to the United Nations Security Council and advocacy for UN Resolution 2331. Design for Freedom, an upcoming media campaign to end modern day slavery, was developed by Grace Farms Foundation in partnership with Geometry Global, J. Walter Thompson, and Shazam. After recognizing a void in addressing exploitation in the building materials supply chain, Prince formed an expanding working group to initialize a radical paradigm shift towards a slave-free built environment. The Grace Farms Foundation Architecture + Construction Working Group (GFF A+CWG), a first-of-its-kind initiative, is bringing together an expanding group of construction and design principals, scholars, lawyers, human rights experts, media and industry association leaders to build awareness and support institutional responses, including the development of slave-free specifications and rigorous auditing standards in the procurement of construction materials.
