💧 H2O Intro 🤝 Meet Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud of Bayou City Waterkeeper

In Houston, floodwaters don’t impact all communities equally.

As Executive Director of Bayou City Waterkeeper, Ayanna is protecting overlooked neighborhoods—many communities of color—by championing natural infrastructure like Sims Bayou, a rare waterway free of concrete that helps mitigate flooding.

Through advocacy for projects like the Hill at Sims and partnerships across Houston, her team is leveraging the Clean Water Act to restore wetlands, protect communities, and reimagine urban resilience.

Their vision: a future where natural waterways defend—and uplift—every neighborhood.

Mccloud is a member of the Color Of Water directory managed by the Water Hub.
