I'm officially a TEDx speaker. 🌳
On May 2nd, 2026, I took the TEDxRoxbury stage to deliver "The Money Tree Paradox" — a talk about Boston's urban tree canopy, the 23-year life expectancy gap between Roxbury and Back Bay, and why environmental justice has to be measured in roots and not just rhetoric.
This talk didn't come out of nowhere. It came from four generations of family in Roxbury, years of research with local non-profit, and Evironmental Protection Agency EJScreen data nobody wanted to look at.
Gratitude to every neighbor, planter, and policy advocate who's been doing this work long before there was a stage attached to it.
The talk drops publicly soon.
