Markese W. Bryant is a 2012 Echoing Green Black Male Achievement Fellow. In 2010, Markese was selected as a winner in a nationwide business plan competition called “Energy, Economy and Innovation” at Morehouse College. After graduation, Markese joined the Green For All to build and manage the College Ambassador Program, which focused on fostering young, green-economy champions at fifteen Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Through this program, Markese played an integral role in organizing the largest delegation of African American college students to attend any Power Shift conference to date. Markese also partnered with Green For All to release a music video entitled “The Dream Reborn”, which garnered over 32,000 views on youtube.com and won 2nd place in the Environmental Protection Agency nationwide video contest. Markese will be coming to WSU to talk about diversifying the sustainability movement and making environmental education available to everyone regardless of their background.
