Last season, we released an episode about how to make community engagement work for you. This week, Nimo and Jas had the opportunity to sit down with Julia (she/her), a Seattle-based community planner, to discuss the research question that she answered in a year-long project in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic: how block parties can be used as an empowerment tool to positively affect civic engagement for the Black community? Press play to hear:
- Reflections on the current state of local community engagement with Black residents
- Resources for planners to use when acknowledging historical mistrust of urban planning in Black neighborhoods, specifically The BlackSpace Manifesto
To connect with Julia and learn more about the Bl*ck Empowerment Party, connect with her on LinkedIn!
Thank you for listening and tune in every other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.
