Two programs:
One; Atlanta Urban League Economic Empowerment Center, creating collaborations with HBCUs and Venture firms to reinvigorate AUC (underserved) communities.
Two; Spelman's Women's Resource Center Toni Cade Bambara Scholar- Activist Program. Feminist theory in action, most famous for the Nelly protest.
I think it would be great if you checked in with folks and orgs doing community organizing in the South. WRFG Community Radio Station, most def. Spelman Women's Resource Center, Midwives and Doulas, Project South, SPARK Reproductive Justice Now,women shackled while giving birth in prison.
I hope that you have some type of public forum. I would love to come out and show my love!
