Consciously Rebuilding

On May 16, 2008, Yasmin and Andrea had the pleasure to attend the RainbowPUSH Coalition

2nd Gulf Coast Economic Summit. One of the take-aways that is applicable to Consciously Rebuilding relates to rebuilding and creating economic growth for New Orleans-based businesses. These businesses and organizations should be included in the rebuilding process especially since we pay City and State taxes and reinvest our money in the local economy through everyday life.

The Conscious Mission

Consciously Rebuilding provides a community development service to addresses the health, social, and environmental dynamics of post-Katrina New Orleans through education and experiential learning. We promote conscious incremental lifestyle changes that mature into holistic individual, community, and environmental health. We educate marginalized populations that have been traditionally untapped by the “Green” Movement by translating the principles of “green” into priorities of financial capacity and health.

Who We Are

After earning their Masters in Public Health from Tulane SPH, Yasmin Bowers and Andrea Floyd teamed up to rebuild New Orleans. Consciously Rebuilding was created to provide services that address environmental, social, economical and infrastructural elements of building and rebuilding in a post-disaster region.

In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our experiences in a post-disaster region exposed the parallelism of environmental, social, and economic issues shared by other regions.

The communities we hope to serve starts with you. We will help communities that do not have a voice but a vision. This burgeoning vision will flourish through collaborative efforts and our passion for change.
