Your instructor

With over a decade of dedicated experience working at the intersection of environmental stewardship and social equity, I (Cole), have forged my career around the principles of sustainable land management and community empowerment. Holding a MSc In Gender and Economics from the London School of Economics, my journey has taken me through diverse roles, from advising grassroots initiatives to collaborating with governmental organizations aimed at promoting collective land ownership and community development models.

As the facilitator of the Community Collective Land Session, my passion for fostering inclusive spaces where community members can learn, share, and strategize about land use resonates deeply with the course’s ethos. My approach is rooted in a belief that collective wisdom and collaborative effort are the bedrock of sustainable land practices. That communities become FREE when we own the bricks that build them. So that we can permanently take them off the market. Through this course, I am eager to connect with individuals who share a vision of cultivating lands that serve as a foundation for stronger, environmentally conscious, and self-sufficient communities. My commitment is not only to educate but to learn alongside my students, as we explore innovative pathways towards a harmonious future where land is more than a resource — it is a shared legacy.
