Kerry Bowie, Browning the Green Space

Today's guest is Kerry Bowie, Founder, President and Executive Director of Browning the Green Space. Browning the Green Space (BGS) is a voluntary coalition of leaders and organizations primarily in the New England region that share a passion to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in clean energy. The organization's goal is to increase the participation and leadership of people in underrepresented groups, including people of color and women in the clean energy space and beyond. We cover a lot in this episode, including the origin story of BGS and we go way back to Kerry's background, his youth and experiences as well as some of the motivations for why he’s focused on DEI, workforce development, and clean energy. We also talk about tactics. How do we systemically make changes? How do we increase equality and justice? What are some things that have and haven't worked? And most importantly, what is the path for the future? Enjoy the show! You can find me on Twitter @jjacobs22 (me), @mcjpod (podcast) or @mcjcollective (company).
