About EMWOT



The Mission of EMWOT (East Meets West of Troost) To re-build a sovereign, self-sustainable community of Nomes* To advance the economic conditions of people adversely impacted by arrested development, re-gentrification, and redlining, as a backlash of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Mass Migration from the south to the north, the Civil Rights Movement, and subsequent integration/Assimilation programming. EMWOT seeks to provide Home-Grown Green Sustainable solutions, Microeconomics, business education, and Community service excellence to inspire and nurture the human spirit - one person at a time.

A *Nome= 5 Klans= 5/25 Family Tribes. 
“Eco-Nome-ics is a family Based system.” Sasteh Meter Mosley

This means that we build, create, manufacture, to establish products, specialized Services, Crafts, and skills from the resources in the Ecology of nature and the land. In the United States Black bodies are the human capital and Black Gold Standard. Our raw Gifts and Talents have been created and exploited for too long.  

East Meets West of Troost is an economic development community service that is dedicated to markedly improving the economic commerce exchange in both the East and West side of Troost. Troost Ave. has been a long-standing east side/ west side dividing line marking the Difference between the Country Club Plaza, JC Nichols Shopping district's Brush Creek, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Ave in contrast to Brush Creek on the east side,  with Bruce Watkins Cultural heritage center and  Freedom Fountain is the highlight of the only City fountain designed by an African American Artist. "The Hood" is located east of Troost. State Representative Lloyd Daniel wrote a poem reflecting the contrast between the Ghetto and Guns on the North side of Troost and Nuclear Bombs on the South side of Troost.

We are bridging the gap between neighborhoods in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Greater Kansas City Missouri Area.

We encourage our youth to believe in themselves and their Positive potential. This will allow microeconomic development to cultivate small Urban businesses, cultural groups, vendors, and artists, economic opportunities who would otherwise lack economic development assistance.

Some of our main projects are in cooperative connection to Green Careers, Urban Farming, and Recycling efforts to raise funds for studio time, to cultivate our At-Risk Youth into local Hip-Hop Arts and expression and develop into  Community Activists. Our Artists have performed for Local and National Political, social and environmental Actions!

We also provide counseling and support with our community services for the housing, and outreach to incarcerated individuals, family support, and re-entry programs.

Kansas City Missouri's Youth are faced with a lot of issues that are commonly overlooked such as Homelessness, Human Trafficking, Sexual Abuse, Child Neglect, Abduction, Latch-key children, Gang violence, Homicide, Incarceration, Literacy, Proper Education, and Child Poverty...

At EMWOT we sincerely believe that children are the future of the world!

EMWOT is dedicated to the sharing of experiences, best practices and methods for achieving sustainability in our personal lives, our communities and our Ecosystems.

As Troost put behind it the dividing line that separated the races, Blacks moved south across the 27th street, race boundary line to Linwood, to Brush Creek, to 63rd street and eventually to Bannister and beyond, as white flight moved to gated communities and further west of Troost. As new neighborhoods are built, EMWOT plays its role in organizing an economically sustainable community.
