What's In Your neighborHood?

The planet is dying and we are closing our eyes flocking to beauty supply and liquor stores, nail shops, and fast food establishments in our neighborhoods owned primarily by businesses that are not helping or lift our communities or save the planet. The truth is, we as a culture, are being left behind in the efforts to have a positive impact our environment because we lack knowledge, resources, and balance.

The global crisis affects all who reside on this earth, and my fear is that if we don’t make an effort to get involved, our survival as a human race is in stake. We must find new ways of patronizing and conducting business in our communities regardless of our socio-economic status. We must demand a standard of quality and social responsibility from those profiting from us. We can act together to do it.

Education is the key to addressing the global crisis we are facing, there is hope for creating opportunities to heal and lift our communities out of poverty, but we must first we must learn how to use natural resources more wisely and efficiently, and collectively. It is imperative that we become more conscious of the products and services being marketed to our unconscious and disadvantage communities by asking, is this product serving a purpose? is it helping or hurting our minds, bodies, and/or spirits?

Let us not be left behind, instead, let us help build our communities on values and standards that benefit us equally as partners on this planet.
