In January 2020, Jordyn Barber wrote a book titled The Greenprint, her call to reimagine cities and communities to address racial injustice, wealth inequality, and climate change without waiting for a financial or societal green light. It is a hope for future cities that represent all people in America to be created.
Having her MFA in Film & TV Production and BA in Interactive Media from the University of Southern California, she follows the mantra “the film is made in preproduction” and wholeheartedly believes creating an immersive plan for an ideal society is the most pragmatic way to see it manifest in reality.
Being from a small town in South Carolina drenched in the history we would like to forget but must reconcile, she also understands creating a culture that values dignity, sustainability, and innovation is the most pragmatic way for said society to last.
She aims to do both. Conquering small steps to a big dream. Planting a small seed for a big tree. She began with all she had, her thoughts of a better future and put them on paper. Her next endeavors include hosting a series of events to connect people over shared visions of a better future, designing a storefront marketplace built on the principles of The Greenprint, creating a virtual reality experience of the future city, and writing the next edition of The Greenprint.
