Green-hearted Sister, Urban Steward, Environmentalist, Detroit Lover, and Chief Beautification Strategist are some titles used to describe Audra D Carson and her work. She has been at the forefront of Environmental Justice since 2009 when she founded De-tread as a solution to tire waste/blight that plagues communities around the globe.

Currently, Audra leads Izzie LLC (named in honor of her mother) where she has designed a subscription Strategic Beautification service that addresses the need for cleanliness maintenance for community corridors, commercial campuses, and public shared space. Additionally, her company provides Environmental Adaptation Landscaping and Sustainability consulting to universities and organizations.

Her parents were community advocates and Audra has continued their legacy through community engagement work that includes the Joe Louis Greenway Community Leadership team. Audra is a distinguished alumnus of The University of Olivet and a member of the Board of Trustees, host of the CommuniD podcast, and a Keep Michigan Beautiful and three-time Spirit of Detroit award recipient.
