As co-founder of a coffee farmers' cooperative in Tanzania and head of Sweet Unity Farms, David Robinson—son of the man who changed the face of baseball, Jackie Robinson—is a path breaker in his own right. He also serves on the board of the foundation named after his dad. Growing up, Della Britton Baeza connected with her father through baseball and discussions of the Brooklyn Dodgers great. After careers in corporate law and the music industry, she's now president-CEO of the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
