Join us as we talk urban sustainability, cultural exploration and social activism in Atlanta with Brave Nu founder Rachel Griner
About this event
Green cities often tout environmental successes — focusing on public transportation options, renewable energy, pedestrian-only streets, green spaces and more. But, let's look at sustainability through the lens of culture by exploring Atlanta, a city rising to meet the social issues of our day.
What we'll discuss:
- Atlanta's culture of social activism
- The solidarity economy - supporting Black-owned business
- Rachel's tips to visiting any urban destination
Join us in this conversation with Brave Nu's founder Rachel Griner and bring your questions!
Rachel Griner founded Brave Nu Ventures for people who want to build a life of exploration. After beginning her career in tourism, Rachel worked in strategy development at P&G and left the corporate world as director of Visa’s venture capital program in Dubai. During 6 years as an expat in the United Arab Emirates, she took Arabic, studied Islamic art, and led an entrepreneurship incubator for Emirati women. Her favorite explorations: touring a worker-owned winery in South Africa, dining in one of Oxford’s “Harry Potter” student halls, making a pilgrimage to see The Obama Portraits with her family.
