. . ?PHOTO #1? We are sustainablebk! We are two Black women wearing beautifully crafted surf suits (made from recycled materials) sponsored by theseea. The layers of energy, the attitude, the confidence, the beauty and the pure joy pouring from our souls in this photo- comes from the fact that we successfully organized our first free ANNUAL SURF DAY X BEACH CLEAN UP! . . . ?PHOTO #2? This woman meru_turao is responsible for planting our surf day seed! Her unwavering support, genuine spirit and giving soul is something I don’t take for granted. So honored to have her as a friend and as part of my support system! . . . ?PHOTO #3? This is only about half the people who showed up - but we had about 50 people (predominantly Black Women) show up to clean the beach and learn to surf! Especially seeing so many young people - it literally made my heart sing. We are the ones responsible for redefining sustainability for our community - and our community consistently shows up and shows out! We deserve sustainability and we are present! . . . ?PHOTO #4 ? CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US AND OUR VISION FOR SUSTAINABILITY! ??? . . .
