We consult, teach, and lecture through emerging partnerships around the country, and serve as a bridge and catalyst among communities and their stakeholders in the design and development of green, self-sustaining, mixed-income, walkable-villages in black neighborhoods.In our process, communities of color are financed to design, direct, represent, and benefit from economic development, with success measured by increase in household income and ownership of local businesses and land. Responding to our climate crisis, green-village-builders cultivate their sustainable-square-mile as a local living economy and greenhouse gas reduction strategy. Neighbor dollars circulate to finance local activities and investments, and the conservation lifestyle becomes standard.Our strategy will: 1) increase the rate at which neighbor-owned businesses are created and sustained, 2) build the capacity of neighbors to own, develop, and manage the property in their community, and 3) foster the conservation lifestyle – the beautiful life!  By cultivating our consciousness for stewardship in these ways, African Americans may restore our place in the world.Naomi Davis is founder and president." } ] } ] ```
