There are so many things right about this approach and model. This project provides many examples to learn and model from. Edmundites, HURRAH!

It was about 4 years ago that I first Founded and Directed the critically acclaimed LA-Times Featured #WeStillGottaEat Initiative, a global food justice project interrupting health disparities through culinary nutrition and healing, starting right here in my hometown of Los Angeles. Though there is an estimated 2-3 million Black residents in Los Angeles (8-12% of the population) Black residents account for almost 50% of the hungry or homeless population in Los Angeles. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of Black residents in LA still struggle with hunger and have little to no access to healthy food due to food apartheids throughout LA County in which, due to gentrification, racism in urban design, lack of municipal investment & community development, and lack of green space, land, and groceries stores through intentional design; entire neighborhoods are deemed unworthy of having access to healthy, whole foods. Additionally, mental and emotional health challenges, disabilities, & other health disparities within Black communities (that are informed by structural racism and injustice), create barriers for families and individuals to even prepare healthy meals for themselves/ourselves. These discriminatory practices deeply undermine food sovereignty efforts and strip Black communities, particularly in South LA, of access to fresh, healthy, organic produce and foods which exacerbates health inequities that already exist. Furthermore, in South LA specifically, there are over 1.3 million residents and just 60 grocery stores, many of which have a small or non-existent organic or quality produce section. Additionally, due to centuries of economic injustice and wage theft including forced enslavement, Jim Crow, segregation, and more currently, wage inequality (ie: Black women earn $0.61 to every $1 a white man is paid), many Black communities have low levels of disposable income, as well as limited access to transportation to and from the stores, if there even is one in their/our community. This is why I launched #WeStillGottaEat, a comprehensive, multi-dimensional program which offers FREE high vibration, deeply lovingly made, artisan-style, mostly-organic, chef-quality, farm fresh meals + food items to Black residents (including individuals, families, children, and elders) in LA in order to receive nourishment and healing. Through this work we were able to establish dozens of professional community partnership (including small business and larger corporations) and hundreds of individual community volunteers to galvanize resources for those in need and serve 50,000 families.

It was 1969. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated the year before, the Black Panther Party had been declared an enemy of the U.S. government, and many Black and Brown people were actively engaged in the Civil Rights Movement, and were facing unfair evictions, job losses, and racist retaliation for their efforts toward freedom and equality. An incredible amount of land was taken from the Black community through racist lending practices and subsidies and supports from the federal and local governments that were mostly only given to white landowners. It was that same year, 1969, that the first community land trust in the United States, New Communities Inc., was formed in southwest Georgia. Inspired by the kibbutz in Israel, which are intentional communities based on agriculture, New Communities was founded as a collective farm. The organization recognized that in order to be independent and safe from racist systems, their community needed ownership of their own housing, farmland and food as a way to ensure long-term security in their homes and their ability to maintain food security and sovereignty rather than to be beholden to white land, home, and grocery owners. >>> Read the full article "A Look at Community Land Trusts: Then to Now" on The Farmers Land Trust blog at thefarmerslandtrust.org https://lnkd.in/gyXPVX4j #newcommunities #communitylandtrust #blackfarmers #foodsovereignty #landjustice #kibbutz #landtheft #affordablehousing #communityownedland #shirleysherrod

One of my favourite events of the year at Rakuten.ca. In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, it's easy to get caught up in metrics, deadlines, and deliverables. But let's not forget the most crucial element of any successful organization: the people. Humanizing your team isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a must-have. Here's why: Boosts Morale and Engagement: When team members feel seen and valued as individuals, their motivation and engagement levels soar. They’re more likely to go the extra mile and contribute their best work. Fosters Innovation: A culture that celebrates diverse perspectives and encourages open communication leads to creative problem-solving and innovation. When people feel safe to express their ideas, magic happens. Builds Trust and Loyalty: Trust is the foundation of any strong team. By showing genuine care and empathy, leaders can build lasting relationships that withstand challenges and change. Enhances Collaboration: Humanized teams are more cohesive. When people understand and respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses, collaboration becomes seamless and more effective. Improves Well-being: A supportive and understanding work environment contributes to the overall well-being of team members. This not only reduces stress but also promotes a healthier work-life balance. Remember, at the heart of every successful project, every innovative idea, and every milestone achieved, are people. Let’s make sure we’re not just managing teams, but truly leading and humanizing them. #Leadership #TeamBuilding #HumanizeYourTeam #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #EmpathyInLeadership

If you want a glimpse at the extraordinary heart, soul, and intellect of New York’s Chief Judge, watch this short video of his remarks at our recent event.

When Janis Ehlers’ mother became a widow, she adopted a little black dog which we referred to as LBD. She wrote a book entitled, “Little Black Dog Stories,” about her special dog, Daisy, which she believed rescued her. While walking her dog and meeting neighbors at the local dog park, LBD exposed her to new experiences. Janis, president of The Ehlers Group, inherited Daisy when she passed, and she certainly enriches her life. Today is #NationalBlackDogDay and we celebrate black dogs everywhere. #marketingstrategy #seniorliving #retirementhousing #assistedliving #publicrelations #marketing #PRTips #branding #media #seniorlivingmarketing #socialmediastrategist #seniorhousing
