Black Women the Unseen Heroines Paving the Way for Sustainable Living
Black women are often ignored in historical moments and movements, and the sustainability movement may not be an exception too.
Despite this, collective groups of Black people who care about the environment and want a better future for the planet cannot be always overlooked.
Hence these women are not the face of the sustainability movement, even though they are contributing immensely in the sustainable fashion and other sectors too.
Many of these amazing women are not receiving the due recognition they deserve for their efforts.

Akiera Charles hosts monthly clothing swaps and workshops to upcycle clothes, and she aims to uplift her community in Bedstuy.
Tara Thomas' Breaking Bread NYC project seeks to put community fridges throughout New York and nourish its communities with nutritious foods.
