Carroll Parrott Blue's work has helped her co-create and work with the Southeast Houston Transformation Alliance (SEHTA), a 503c3 non-profit community leadership organization. Carroll's research examines how SEHTA’s underserved community residents who, united in a commonly held vision, can work as equal partners with supportive academic and other institutions, civic governments, developers, foundations and donors to provide a new community engagement model for Houston’s use in becoming a 21st century city. This work is supported with digital storytelling, interactive multimedia, public art, design and a new opportunity to incorporate Geographic Information Systems Spatial Analysis techniques. Her goal is to merge this area’s facts and figures with its residential voices and visions through a united team support of GIS programmers, public and architectural historians, artists, historians, creative writers, graphic designers, architects, landscape architects, urban planners and personal digital stories and histories.
