2019 Ganador(a) | CEO | American
Impact Experience focuses on retraining former coal miners in Appalachia; sustainable agriculture and racial equity in rural Georgia and inclusive rebuilding in Puerto Rico, Sonoma, New Orleans and Houston. We have long observed how the disconnect across sectors in investing, philanthropy, entrepreneurship and community leadership, lack of diversity and inclusivity, lack of trust, and lack of empathy - limit the possibilities to drive effective solutions to support climate resilient communities. Our mission is to deepen relationships between investors, community leaders, philanthropists, artists and entrepreneurs to build trust, co-ideate solutions, and leverage strategic alignment to drive sustainable impact in underserved communities. Our big idea is to bring together impact investors, philanthropists, policy makers, entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders, artists and community leaders to focus on sharing lessons learned and co-develop solutions on community resiliency from diverse high-risk area communities in the Southeast Corridor and the Gulf region including Savannah (Georgia), Houston (Texas), and New Orleans (Louisiana).
