About this event

  • 3 hours

Join us for a transformative event as Mén Beni Gardening proudly hosts a Juneteenth Environmental Summit. This groundbreaking summit will delve into the rich landscape of Black Futurism, exploring how the Black community is navigating the challenges of gentrification and embracing environmental sustainability to shape a vibrant future.

At the heart of our summit is a deep exploration of Black Futurism—a visionary movement that celebrates the resilience, creativity, and ingenuity of Black culture. Through panel discussions, keynote presentations, and interactive workshops, we will explore how the Black community is reclaiming narratives, envisioning bold futures, and preparing for the impacts of gentrification.

Gentrification, a pressing issue faced by many communities, disproportionately affects Black neighborhoods, leading to displacement, loss of cultural heritage, and environmental injustices. Our summit will provide a platform to discuss strategies for community resilience, equitable development, and environmental justice.

Moreover, we recognize that environmental sustainability plays a pivotal role in shaping our collective future. By engaging in sustainable practices, we not only mitigate the impacts of climate change but also create healthier, more equitable communities. Through dynamic conversations and hands-on activities, we will explore how environmental sustainability can empower the Black community and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.

At Mén Beni Gardening, we believe in the power of the 3R's: ReNew, ReConnect, and ReAwaken. Through our programs and initiatives, we strive to renew the mind, body, and spirit of individuals, reconnect communities with nature, and awaken a deeper appreciation for the environment.
