You Can’t Handle The Truth
Because knowing the TRUTH means we have to act. We work with real people with real challenges. This makes our work complex and messy and most days swimming in the “grey”. Projects that we think will take a year sometime take three. And knowing the facts, having that hard data at our fingertips mean we have to make hard choices.
The Stories We Tell
The more closely aligned your storytelling is to your culture, truth and reality and the communities you serve, the more powerful your stories become to the listener.
Bold,Brave And Fearless. My Wish For You.
What if WE in the nonprofit world were absolutely, no holds barred, balls to the walls FEARLESS in all that we did?
I Take It Personally
I am in it to win it. Not for me, but for you. Because when communities are healthy- we all win.
World-Mindedness
How will power be wielded in the future? Who will run our governments, craft policy, teach our children, and start new businesses?
Land, Language and Identity
Even in developed countries, indigenous peoples consistently lag behind the non-indigenous population in terms of most indicators of well-being. They live shorter lives, have poorer health care and education and endure higher unemployment rates
The Power of Sweat
Something powerful happens when people work on a physical activity together.
Dying to be born
But above all- I need a challenge. I currently work with smart, creative, interesting people, and I need that in the future. I need to work on projects that I believe in, that have impact. I need to break barriers. I need to have my time be my own. I want to be mobile. I want options.
Creating Space for Change
We organize to build power for social change. There is an ancient Chinese saying: “Talking will not cook the rice.” Cooking the rice makes space for change, for justice, for equity. Its hard work, but someone has to stand up and cook the rice. Will it be you?
