Dant’e O. King is not only a pastor, author and philanthropist, but he’s also a community organizer. He’s the Co-Founder of the Southern Maryland Action Coalition (Now TRUST) and sits on the board of the Empowerment Movement. Dant’es passion for renewable energy began when he worked at Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant and Brandon Shores coal plants and first hand saw the dangers of fossil energy. He believes one of his major responsibility as a community leader is to teach, reach and equip the community as it relates to renewable energy sources. He lives by the mantra, “We have one world that each one of us is responsible for”.
