Our Story
Diversity FOOTprint
Founder The Artist “G”
Sustainable Pittsburgh a Southwestern
Pennsylvania non-profit designed to foster a
culture of civic and businesses sustainable
practices reported …"if we are to make
overall progress, social Equality must be
seen as a regional priority"…. (We Know) " to
little about critical issues such as community
connectedness, regional cooperation….itself
an indicator that we are still not fully engaged
with creating long-term sustainability for
Southwestern Pennsylvania".
With the emerging social and economic
indicators called for reversing decades of
entrenched racial and income inequality in
the region. Diversity FOOTprint pushes for
economic justice is about sustainability;
focuses on private/social economic trade
interest value that delivers profit as a social
responsible practice.
Today we stand on the shoulders of those
who created the Harambee Black Arts
Festival, over 50 years ago. We are asking
our neighbors to once again make a
commitment to this iconic Harambee using
Ujima to call for social economic efforts not to
make profit but create an environment where
community profit can be made.
The scope of the Harambee Ujima project is
sustainable community development with the;
emphasis on simultaneously addressing
public/private short coming resulting form
decision making around social and economic
development in the Tri State region.
History; Diversity FOOTprint joining with The
Harambee Ujima Black Arts and Cultural
Association (Harambee Ujima) formed a
consortium, is an exploration to promote the
America's Black Diaspora as an emerging
economy; proposes a regional investment
into minority development work force talent,
and training towards building a sustainability
society.
We continue the Harambee legacy with
bringing the spirit of Harambee in the present
day: to develop the emerging authority of the
African American in the marketplace, with
revitalizing the minority communities by
trading right on the street, to build economic
equality as the wall which separates the
Black Diaspora from Racism.
This collaboration acts as an Art Social
Economic Generator (A+SEG) engine; the
design looks like a festival, but takes the form
of a trade-fair that operates as a Community
Sponsored Art Project (CSA).
The Harambee Ujima CSA objectives
involves the examination of Diversity as a
managing construct related to America's
social contract standing belief in life's
inalienable rights of life. Within this
perspective of The American Dream this CSA
in motion provides low income neighborhoods
the opportunity to: engage in building social
endurance, cultural flexibility and economic
strength.
In Short, being directly related to Nature's
Diversity Agreement accelerates Sustainable
Development by opening per se a Black Wall
Street;; vital not only in promoting recovery
from both economic abandonment and
disinvestment. But through art giving minority
neighborhood free trade benefits to enter the
global economy simultaneously re-establishs
the Black Diaspora/African American culture’s
pride and dignity with trade. Harambee !
Harambee! Harambee!
