- The Future is Here: Women in Environmental Leadership (WEL) Series
- Description
- Known for their forward-thinking ideas, these female panelists will gave us a glimpse into the future of environmental justice. Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum started women’s history month with an exploration of women’s leadership roles in the seminal First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit held thirty years ago in Washington, DC and the impacts of such participation on subsequent justice efforts. We end our celebration of a month of women’s environmental leadership with an exploration of the future, the women who are shaping and will continue to shape and lead environmental spaces at local, national, and international levels. The panel explores the perspectives they bring into these multiple spaces, the definitions they will challenge and expand, and the shape of the communities they will help to build. In celebration of Women’s History Month, ACM’s Urban Waterways project hosted four virtual community forums as part of its Women’s Environmental Leadership (WEL) initiative. Moderator: Tamara Toles O’Laughlin, International Environmental Advocate & Strategist Panelists: Erika Dickerson-Despenza, Playwright Cultural Worker, Tow Playwright-in-Residence, The Public Theater Sekita Grant, Vice President, Programs, The Solutions Project Corina Newsome, Community Engagement Manager, Georgia Audubon

- TTT 4 29 21 Soil Science and Justice with Dr Akilah Martin
- Description
- Thursday, April 29 | 2:30 – 3pm It’s more than just dirt! Without soil there is no food. It’s often unappreciated, but there are galaxies of life within each tablespoon of soil. It is truly a magical world beneath our feet. Join us as Dr. Akilah Martin helps us to connect more deeply with our soil and its relationship to food, ecosystems, and social justice. Dr. Martin is an expert in her field but is first and foremost in partnership with soil and water. This month our Take Time Thursdays will be about food in conjunction with ACM’s year-long theme, “Our Food Our Future.” This year long examination of food history, culture, and justice includes the exhibit, “Food for the People: Eating and Activism in Greater Washington” and related programs designed to educate and encourage audiences to take action to create a more equitable future. Akilah earned her BS degree in Soil Science from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University and her Doctorate from Purdue University in the area of Agricultural and Biological Engineering. Her professional interests include enhancing relationships of individuals and communities to environmental and natural resources. Her teaching and scholarly/research interests are centered in soil and water quality in urban communities. Current projects include installing rain gardens to create a “sponge town,” and building container gardens for “growing your own groceries.” Akilah is abundantly living life through two core values: Freedom and Joy. Cultivate joy by learning more about our soil together!

- #TakeTimeThursday 5-6- 21 Having Difficult Conversations with Youth Leniqua'dominique
- Description
- Are you seeking a fun and exciting way to introduce hard topics like "Black Lives Matter," body positivity, racism, colorism, and inclusion? Are you interested in developing self-esteem in children/youth? Leniqua'dominique Jenkins, local Ward 7 DC resident and author of “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall,” will show readers how to use her top-selling Amazon children's book as a resource to start difficult dialogs with young readers. This workshop will guide participants on healthy and smart ways to start conversations surrounding timely and important national topics, in easy and practical ways. This workshop addresses inclusive themes and is also helpful to approach difficult subjects with other adults, so we encourage all to attend. In June of 2020, Jenkins self-published a children’s book titled Mirror, “Mirror on the Wall.” This book celebrates melanin and promotes body positivity. As you turn each page, young readers will fall more deeply in love with all body types, skin tones, and learn to challenge beauty standards outside of western cultural norms. Additionally, this book is a great resource to develop self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness particularly, for black and brown children.

- Food Sovereignty in the Past, Present & Future of Washington, DC
- Description
- A part of the series, "Knowing Our Past, Creating Our Future", this intergenerational conversation with Washington, DC, food system creators—past and present—share about their work and the legacy and linage of food sovereignty activism in Washington, DC. Hosted by organizers Katie Petitt (Current Movements) and Matt Birkhold (Visionary Organizing Lab), the conversation will feature Joelle Robinson (South Eats), Mosadi Khaliq (Rooted & Sustained), and Ausu-f Teba Raari (Community Warehouse). About this series: Washington, DC, is widely seen as a site of large national protests but also has a long and overlooked history of local activism. In the 1960s, activists in Washington, DC, created new schools, successfully organized to stop freeway construction in neighborhoods, created neighborhood governance when the city had no local elected officials, stopped urban renewal projects, and created parks, youth centers, and cooperative food stores. DC activists also organized to establish home rule and gain representation in Congress. In partnership with the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum, two DC-based organizations that support activists who seek to deepen their work— Current Movements (CM) and Visionary Organizing Lab (VOL)—are collaborating to understand why DC was fertile ground for this kind of institution building. We believe that by bringing generations together to explore this question, younger and elder activists alike can grow in their work and see themselves as part of a multigenerational movement history unique to DC.
