What’s happening?

Corika White, a Black woman with nearly two decades of experience at the Domino Sugar Factory, was promoted to refinery manager at the company’s Baltimore facility. This is the first time a Black woman has been in charge at Domino Sugar in its 99-year history.

That’s a long time coming! What will she be doing in this role?

She’ll oversee a $20 million installation project, among other responsibilities.

Anything else I should know?

The Baltimore plant produces more than 40 products, employs more than 500 people, and refines more than 885,000 tons of raw sugar a year.
