People. Nature. Big Ideas. #5: Land, Power, & Self-Determination w/ Naomi Davis and Anton Seals Jr.

Today on People. Nature. Big Ideas., we’re talking about Self-Determination and the challenges around how communities and individuals are able to shape their economic, cultural, and social futures. To dig into this important topic, we’re joined by Naomi Davis, founder of the Blacks in Green (BIG™), and TPL’s newest National Board member Anton Seals Jr., founder of Grow Greater Englewood.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Naomi, Anton and Ronda discuss how their organizations connect Black residents and communities to nature, food, sustainability, energy, and climate, while creating pathways for economic enterprise.
