During EarthX 2025, Conscious Capital Foundation Founder & CEO Lawrence Ford engaged in a profound discussion with Julie Ann Fineman and Corrin Breeding, exploring the wisdom that “transcends the rational.” A powerful highlight features Corrin’s insights from her research into pre-emancipation cemeteries. This work unveiled a deep lens—spatial, physical, and spiritual—showing how enslaved communities honored their departed. She discusses the significance of burial ground placement relative to water and trees, and the role of plant material in conveying meaning, memory, and continuity.
