Detroit is witnessing a powerful movement driven by Black leaders dedicated to tackling environmental inequities head-on. These trailblazers aren’t just talking about change; they’re making it happen. By transforming Detroit’s environmental landscape through their dedication and innovative solutions, they are setting new standards for what it means to champion environmental equity.

With over ten years of experience in the construction industry, Neely is the licensed electrical contractor and founder of Detroit Voltage, a certified Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) that offers top-notch residential and commercial electrical services.
