Ecological Connection

(Absence of African-Designed Systems)

In our discussions, we're going to delve into how your surroundings, including your community and physical environment, influence your well-being. We'll explore if there's an African-designed touch in your ecological environment and how that impacts you. The idea here is that communities and environments should groove with nature, reflecting the principles of Ma'at – order, balance, harmony, and justice. If those African-designed systems are missing, it might throw things off balance and create some dis-ease. Let's navigate this together and bring back the harmony your environment deserves.
