Summary: Is development possible without displacement? In this episode of the Race and Wealth podcast, our host Dedrick Asante-Muhammad and Racial Wealth Divide Initiative associate director Lillian Singh sit down with Sheley Secrest,Vice President and the Economic Development Chair of the Seattle branch of the NAACP. They discuss recent victories by Sheley and the NAACP for more equitable development throughout the Seattle Metro Area, including the 23rd Avenue revitalization project and its impact on the city’s small business owners of color. Finally, Sheley explains the mission of Development without Displacement—inclusive community development that invests in the futures of all residents; a form of development that opposes gentrification, yet supports new investment.
