This weekend, Andrea and I attended "The Dream Reborn" hosted by Green 4 All in Memphis, Tennessee. We were very excited to be surrounded by current and future leaders of environmental justice, social justice, and economic development for everyone, especially people of color and low income populations that are disproportionately affected. It is time for a change and we were super excited to see so many people ready for justice and equality. It was especially touching because the conference was held on the 40th anniversary of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. He did not die at the Lorraine hotel because his words and his dreams transcend through me, Andrea, and millions of people who are ready to say,"Enough!!! It's time for change." Injustice is getting old, and we're tired of it.

We met many people that inspire us daily, Dr. Robert Bullard (founder of the Environmental Justice Movement), Majora Carter, Van Jones, Winona Laduke, Afeni Shakur, the Honorable D'Army Bailer, Baye Adofo-Wilson, and 100s of eager and inspirational young leaders.


Empower yourselves because sometimes you are the help that you've been waiting for :)
