Brittany Campagna is founder and CEO of Inner City Innovations, an organization that seeks to bring sustainable food, health and other services to low-income communities. She is exploring how we (church folk, media, clergy, community members) use and understand the phrase “the hood.” She offers advice to avoid conflating urban blight with “blackness.”
This resource was designed with a United Methodist perspective, but we believe the content is also relevant for non-UMC seekers who are doing anti-racism work with a spiritual foundation.
