YOUR VISION
OUR EVOLUTION
=The EXCLAVE moment was a
great way to build
community. Hearing the
lessons and stories from
the visionaries on stage
(and those at my table)
were inspiring. It was
the perfect way to launch
the weekend. The data
presentation on Friday
was incredible. That
cannot be overstated.
Learning about the
decisions and factors
that brought New Orleans
to its current state was
good to know and it
helped to inform the
changes and decisions we
need to make to prevent
history from repeating
itself and to identify
tangible paths forward.
It also illuminated how
things that appear to be
small, isolated decisions
can have a broader and
more long term impact for
Black New Orleanians.=
=Data presentation was a
great way to see how
choices can influence not
only where we are but
where we are going. With
a mix room - Transplants,
expats, locals - it's a
good way to ground us
all. Writer’S room
presentations are always
a highlight. They show us
what is possible.
Thursday dinner is always
exciting and fun to see
who you'll spend the
weekend with! The dinner
was a great introduction
to the Homecoming
community. The writers
room exercises and
presentations was a great
way to use creativity to
inspire solutions and
hearing others
presentations was
inspiring.=
