To paraphrase Audre Lourde – we can’t change the master’s housing using the master’s tools, meaning effective community change work requires community tools, not the colonial and corporate tools. If you feel like you are spinning your wheels with coalition building, and community or campaign organizing you will find success using my social innovation tools.
Community leaders like you require access to effective tools and resources that engage, empower, and inspire members from the organizations and community you work with in more participatory, collaborative, cogent and compelling ways.
