One World Products Strengthens Board with Addition of Ambassador Ertharin Cousin Alongside Minyon Moore

One World Products, Inc., soon to be renamed Isiah Enterprises, has appointed Ambassador Ertharin Cousin to its Board of Directors, joining recently appointed director Minyon Moore. This creates a rare alignment of leadership with both women having been named to Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women list, positioning the company at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth during its strategic transition.

Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of One World Products, emphasized the significance of these appointments, stating that both leaders bring proven judgment and real-world execution capabilities. Their collective experience in shaping policy, building coalitions, and delivering measurable results for communities underscores the company's commitment to integrity, innovation, and impact as it builds Isiah Enterprises for long-term value creation. The company is currently executing in automotive packaging markets while expanding into food packaging, two sectors where its capabilities and partnerships can scale responsibly.

Ambassador Cousin brings more than four decades of global leadership across public, private, and social sectors. She served as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme from 2012 to 2017, leading assistance programs for tens of millions of people worldwide. As U.S. Ambassador to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture from 2009 to 2012, she advanced U.S. priorities in food, nutrition, and agricultural development. Her extensive background includes serving as Chief Operating Officer of Feeding America and founding Food Systems for the Future to accelerate sustainable innovation in food equity. Ambassador Cousin has been recognized on TIME's 100 Most Influential People list in addition to her Forbes recognition.

Minyon Moore brings complementary expertise as one of the nation's top strategic thinkers in political and corporate affairs, public policy, and brand strategy. She leads Dewey Square Group's State and Local Affairs and Multicultural Strategies practices, advising Fortune 100 companies and nonprofits. Her distinguished 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. Moore most recently served as Chair of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

The combination of these leadership appointments marks a defining step in One World Products' transition to Isiah Enterprises. The company is broadening its focus to automotive sustainability, renewable materials, and circular economy manufacturing. Current operations include serving automotive packaging markets while building a presence in food packaging, aligning its materials strategy with partners and prospective customers across both sectors. Recent operational achievements 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, job creation, and measurable environmental impact. The board appointments signal the company's commitment to integrating sustainability, equity, and economic empowerment as complementary objectives rather than competing goals.
