Since childhood, Ester B. Moore has been a servant in her community. She went everywhere with her mother, a minister, activist and community leader. This is when Ester began to cultivate her own love for community. Ester was first recognized for her dedication, by the Cobb County NAACP who awarded her with the Youth Service Award, at the age of 12. Thru the years she continued to volunteer thru organizations like the United Way of Atlanta, the Atlanta Humane Society, and her church.
Although she loved giving back to the community, Ester chose a career in business management. She has been privileged to work for forward-thinking, socially-minded companies in Atlanta, New York and Washington, DC. In 2015 Ester moved to Memphis to be closer to her mother; And what was meant to be a temporary move became permanent. MS. Moore got married and had a child. While on maternity leave Ester made 2 major decisions: 1) to become a stay-at-home mom and 2) follow God’s purpose for her life and start a nonprofit to end poverty in our lifetime. The latter is called Abundant Earth Global CDC.
Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in Tennessee in 2016, Abundant Earth’s mission is to end poverty, in our lifetime with the abundance that Earth provides. They’ve focused food security, self-love and community education to help stabilize and regenerate communities at a hyper-local level. And now they have a 4000sqft building to headquarter their efforts and 1.2 acres of farmland.
