ABOUT US

 

Lucent Communications is a woman-owned small business that activates great ideas for the people and the planet. Lucent is a dynamic team of contractors led by Demetria Smith, an entrepreneur and nonprofit executive with extensive experience leading new initiatives and fundraising. Moving the projects from concept to completion is what gets her going in the morning!

Demetria believes the environmental commons is a critical social justice issue and invests tremendous energy both in her professional and personal life in helping to build our collective will & skill to create a healthy planet where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Demetria is a proud graduate of Northwestern University where she was trained in Asset Based Community Development, an approach that continues to inform her work. When Demetria is not busy trying to make the world more like it should be, you’ll probably find her at her public library, hiking or biking with her family (who happen to be pretty awesome) or refusing to follow the recipe while cooking.
