Majora Carter is a woman who has inspired me for years with her work to create the group "Sustainable South Bronx". She speaks on news shows and at conventions about creating communities that are strong and green in the city's poor neighborhoods. She understands and adopts the idea that the people living in the "problem" area need to be the ones working on the solution. It creates jobs and security, as well as gives people a sense of pride for their neighborhood.
These are just some of the reasons why I chose her. I am following her on Twitter, Facebook and her website,
www.majoracartergroup.com .
She has constantly shaped how I look at my community and the global community. She has been able to instill hope in me that stronger communities and healthier communities are possible and likely.
I have sent her an email and will post a response if I get one. Looking forward to keeping you updated!
