Growing up in Detroit, Brittany Stallworth, a 2012 Brower Youth Award Winner, faced environmental injustice, including limited healthy food access and exposure to factory emissions. This experience fueled her to establish "Green is the New Black" at Howard University, a campaign dedicated to food and environmental justice.

Through her initiative, Stallworth organized expert-led workshops for students and a symposium that connected over 35 green organizations with college students for internships and jobs. Her passion has inspired others to advance food accessibility and environmental justice in underserved communities.

Amid growing success in Indigenous-led #landback campaigns and triumphs over extraction, this session highlights the crucial link between land restoration and addressing collective trauma. It explores how #landback efforts can benefit from including Black and other marginalized groups, and critically examines if ‘call out culture’ hinders decolonization movements.

Moderated by Eriel Deranger, with Jodie Geddes and Carlee Loft, panelists will share practical strategies. These include an intergenerational focus, ceremony, and spending time on the land.

This film delves into themes of inclusion, identity, and hand-drawn heroes, centered on mountain biker, skier, and artist Brooklyn Bell. Unable to find a hero, Bell created Ruby J, a comic character who became her powerful role model.

Inspired by Ruby, Bell embraced the mantra to "live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her," ultimately forging her own identity through a blend of dirt, snow, art, and inclusion.

Directed by Dave Mayers and produced by Lauren Cerre and Dave Mayers, the film features cinematography by Joey Schusler and Jika Gonzalez, editing by Cameron Dennis, music by Jameson Williams, and graphics by Brooklyn Bell and Kris Cave.
