Raymond Jetson
Catalyst, Innovator, Elder, Author Aging While Black
Raymond A. Jetson is the catalytic force that has powered the evolution of the Baton Rouge based social enterprise MetroMorphosis. Utilizing an innovative asset based, community centered change model, MetroMorphosis seeks to transform inner city neighborhoods through racial, social and economic equity.
In February 2023 Jetson launched Aging While Black, a movement designed to amplify the value and experiences of Black elders by exploring the intersection of aging and race. The movement is being advanced through community building around three essential pillars: Recalibrating the Village, Embracing Innovation and Rapid Change, and Leaning into Sankofa. The pillars center the wellbeing of Black elders by the overhaul of the systems that support Black life, adapting new technologies and their potential, and embedding the wisdom of the elders into the fabric of the culture.
