There is a link between improving the economy through green ventures and involving those who have skills to offer and those who want to learn new skills from the 20% of the population that is disabled.  Dr. Frank Yurasek, IMPRUVE and BNICEH recognize the value of  integenerational training and ventures that involve the disability community, seniors, persons from diverse communities and cultures  who meet on common ground, and their non-disabled peers.   Although Dr. Maat still believes that the key lies with inclusion of the Afrikan community in rebuilding America and making it green, and implementing ways to repair the damage done by racism, rape, forced poverty and incarceration, and withholding of financial aid and bailouts without interest  that have prevented students and business people of Afrikan descent from completing college or online courses, she learns and shares knowledge with many cultures with the purpose of implanting the vision that greater inner standing of  the purpose and real mission of people of Afrikan descent will reverse most of the hatred and  tendency to mistreat them, abuse their natural  resources or discount them if they do not have the wealth or DNA lineage of the 1% (aka wealthiest powerbrokers).  Ase.
