Community Development Solutions

Centering Sustainable Lifestyles and Development in the Black Community

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide service, education, and skills to community members in underserved neighborhoods through Ethno-cultural and eco-friendly activities for the creation of sustainable closed-loop systems in underserved communities and ultimately raise environmental consciousness and transform lifestyles.

Governmental or Economic Issues​

Traditionally underserved neighborhoods in Georgia are impoverished, lacking in opportunities and access. As an Indigenous and African American Woman who has lived in these areas, my language and presentation can reach those in these communities to receive the training they need that Allies of these communities would otherwise not be able to reach. Diversity and Inclusion in the Allocation of Abundance is our goal.
