About

We had an incredible time at @upendoestatesfarm , coming together to support local growers and land owners, share NRCS, resources, and strengthen our farming community. Every helping hand, every conversation, and every smile reminded us that meaningful change happens when we work together! We’re so grateful to our amazing host Upendo Estates and our partners: OurSpace World ( @blackfoodblackfutures ), @ecoparadigmatlanta , and the @federationofsoutherncoop for helping make this farm assistance weekend possible. Thank you to WCSHC for their sponsorship and everyone who volunteered, participated, and showed up to serve. Your dedication continues to inspire us, and we can’t wait to keep growing together, one partnership, one harvest, and one community at a time!

Thank you to everyone who joined Black Sustainability for our virtual conversation on The Climate Issue: Cultural, Afroecology in the Age of AI! We appreciate everyone who showed up to explore the intersections of culture, climate, and artificial intelligence, and to discuss how our cultural values, relationships with the land, and collective actions shape the future we’re building. The climate crisis is more than an environmental issue. It’s cultural, social, and deeply connected to how we live, what we value, and how we care for our communities and the planet. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, perspectives, questions, and ideas to this important conversation. The work continues as we build a more just and sustainable future together. 2030 is a climate deadline. Let’s keep learning, connecting, and taking action. #BlackSustainability #Afroecology #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction #Sustainability
