We’re excited to be an exhibitor at the Sustainable Forestry & Land Retention Project’s 2023 Forest Landowners Conference happening this week in Rocky Mount, NC. Check out the details here: https://www.roanokeelectric.com/

I had an incredible time at the @dscejnola HBCU Climate Change Conference!

It was inspiring to hear from empowering panelists who are leading the charge for #environmentaljustice. I also had the opportunity to make several valuable business connections.

When one door closes, another one opens. It’s very important to maintain a good rapport with former colleagues and not burn any bridges.

After having worked at the same company for nearly

After having worked at the same company for nearly 18 years, I knew it was time to leave and start my own business because:

1. I was overworked and underpaid. For nearly three years straight, I worked day, night, weekends, and also while on vacation. Although I was happy about being able to work on a variety of projects, it burned me out and on top of that, my pay was not commensurate with my degrees and tenure at the organization. I decided that if I am going to work as hard as I was, I needed to be working for myself and be making more money.

2. My interests did not align with the group I was in. I was in a group and business unit with computer programmers and programming is not what I want to do.

3. I could not create the impact I wanted to make. My day to day role involved working with data, which I was content with for many years, but this eventually became monotonous.

4. I think everyone should have multiple streams of income. I am fortunate enough to have another side business and spouse who can cover the bills until I can replace the income I lost. It was also good that I had clients I could start providing services to as soon as I quit my job.

5. There is an unprecedented amount of opportunity available right now for people with a passion for protecting our planet and its resources.

I’m so excited to be a sponsor at the Deep South

I’m so excited to be a sponsor at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice #HBCUClimateChange conference in New Orleans.

The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice has a rich history of working alongside affected communities and partnering with other #environmentaljustice organizations to raise awareness about #environmental issues.

I greatly admire the work they’ve done to address and rectify environmental disparities and injustices faced by marginalized and #vulnerable #communities that have been disproportionately affected by #pollution and inadequate access to resources.

I was excited to join fellow #environmental researchers from across the country on a panel for NASA’s Equity and #environmentaljustice program. We discussed the usability of NASA’s #remotesensing #geospatial data and how we can work with communities to increase the use of these assets. It has been a pleasure working with the #nasa EEJ office!

Anyone with a passion for policy and advancing the causes of civil rights, economic opportunity, and social justice for African Americans and marginalized communities in the United States, the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference is one you must attend.

Today, August 31, is the last day of #BlackBusines

Today, August 31, is the last day of #BlackBusinessmonth and we want to highlight data that demonstrates why we are passionate about delivering economic opportunity for black businesses.

These statistics from Fundera, dating back to 2021, shed light on the immense challenges faced by Black business owners when it comes to accessing capital. The numbers are stark: Black businesses apply for nearly twice the number of loans as white businesses, yet less than half of those applications are approved. White businesses, on the other hand, have a higher approval rate despite making up a smaller percentage of loan applications.

The data reveals that only 22.3% of new loan applications by Black businesses receive approval, compared to 54.2% for white businesses. Even for SBA loans, the disparity persists, with just 8.4% of applications by Black businesses approved, while white businesses see a 33% approval rate.

Support for Black-owned businesses becomes a powerful tool for driving positive transformations. With growing awareness of economic and social inequalities, understanding the facts about Black-owned businesses becomes critical. These statistics reinforce the need for improved #federalcontracting opportunities and the removal of structural barriers, considering a mere 1.67% of federal contracts are awarded to Black businesses.

At Key #Environmental, these statistics hit home deeply, as we share a profound understanding of the challenges faced by #Blackbusinessowners. By leveraging our insights and experiences, we strive to be a beacon of empowerment, guiding fellow #Blackentrepreneurs and #communitybasedorganizations toward success and dismantling the barriers that have hindered progress for far too long. Together, we can turn adversity into opportunity and drive positive change and #economic justice for our community and beyond. #SupportBlackBusinesses
