TÉ NOU: The Earth is Ours
A Juneteenth Black Futurism Environmental Justice Summit
Rooted in ancestral wisdom and guided by the spirit of collective liberation, TÉ NOU: The Earth is Ours is a one-day summit that centers Black, Haitian, and Indigenous voices in the fight for environmental justice, land sovereignty, and cultural preservation.
Presented by Mén Beni Gardening, this immersive gathering is more than a conference it is a reclamation of land, identity, and future. Held on Juneteenth, a day of emancipation and awakening, TÉ NOU invites community members, artists, farmers, environmentalists, and healers to engage in workshops, panel discussions, rituals, and activations that honor the earth and our sacred connection to it.
Through Black Futurism, we imagine and build a world where our communities not only survive but thrive rooted in sustainability, liberation, and deep respect for the land that holds our stories.
This isn’t just an event it’s an experience. Join us as we reimagine the future through the lens of ancestral truth, environmental healing, and radical Black joy. Here's what you can expect:
