BONUS: Supporting Resilient Communities in Texas
Manage episode 353935248 series 2946857
Today, we’re introducing you to two all-star women we met at HAANDS — the Historic African American Neighborhood and District Summit — who are doing great work in Texas.
First up, Tanya Debose, a fourth-generation Houstonian, the Executive Director of the Independence Heights Redevelopment Council, and the founder of Preserving Communities of Color in Houston.
Then, Desiree Powell, a program coordinator for The Congress for the New Urbanism and the founder of Do Right By the Street (DRBTS), a planning firm that facilitates the creation of community-driven places in South Dallas, like the Sunny South Dallas Food Park.
We’ll be publishing more interviews with HAANDS attendees — and introducing you to more practitioners of preservation-based economic development — in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
