Our Purpose

BIPOC communities are disproportionately impacted by the negative effects of climate change. We seek to rectify these disparities by amplifying community voices with sustainable solutions to society, environment, and economic issues. These efforts will be launched via Terrarium; an eco festival that celebrates sustainability, tech, and innovation in Communities of Color. This event will provide a platform for the promotion, growth, and development of BIPOC thought leaders and business owners. Terrarium will include a digital platform that will funnel the findings from the festival. The website will include a series of directories, BIPOC start-up support, and green investor engagement opportunities. Our vision for Terrarium includes developing this into an annual event that local communities can rely on each year for synergy, networking, and solution making. This event and digital platform will be an annual energizing, fulfilling, validating, and hopeful celebration of social sustainability.  The 2022 festival will be an eight-hour event, but our five-year plan includes scaling this event into a 3-day conference.
