Sustainable Living and Working

I'm an experienced strategic impact communications professional with expertise in sustainable living, residential real estate building and financing, and a nuanced understanding from lived experience of the importance of clean energy for LMI communities. For over 10 years, I've brought a unique perspective and expertise to this sector that I can use to help nonprofit organizations and CDFIs effectively communicate their mission and impact in the sustainability space.

My experience includes a strong background in financial communications, including ESG strategic content development. I've developed a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in securing and deploying funding for clean energy projects in low-wealth communities. My proposed strategic impact communications initiatives consistently consider the financial and environmental justice issues people in marginalized communities face.

I also specialize in creating well-researched credible cornerstone content that resonates with key stakeholders, including government agencies, donors, and the public. I pair that with a comprehensive content strategy that fits seamlessly into your organization's impact communications plan and meets its business objectives. 

My commitment is to helping organizations like yours use messaging strategy effectively to convey the value of your sustainability initiatives or the positive impact of your clean energy lending programs. It is also to help those in LMI communities see the connection between clean energy and environmental justice, and become willing to invest in it for their homes and businesses.

While the content here is primarily about indoor environments, it shows my ability to communicate complex sustainability topics in an engaging and accessible manner. The client testimonial below shows how I can create customized strategic communications plans to that can help elevate your sustainability messaging.

"Dahna worked with us to brand and launch our green residential home building enterprise,
GreenTec Homes’ new subdivision in Macon, GA. She was integral in coming up with the entire communications strategy for the business, including the phrase “substantially green” which we used throughout the communications campaign for the subdivision. She also developed a content strategy and wrote the content and executed an effective social media campaign for the business. Dahna consistently collaborated with our team to execute other aspects of our communications strategy, like our PR campaign, and integrated the digital communications strategy seamlessly into our overall communications plan. Our experience with Dahna was excellent and we highly recommend her to any organization that needs outstanding digital communications solutions." —John Damiano, Associate Broker – Keller Williams – Atlanta Perimeter—CEO of The Providence Group
