Social and community participation is important because it can: Help you feel included and connected to others. Give you opportunities to build relationships with friends. Grow your social networks and help you feel more included. Everybody needs a champion and good role models who are non-judgemental. Volunteering in the. community helps Improve citizens' knowledge and skills in problems. This journey, is teaching me to be respectful, use active listening and good communication skills. Greater community knowledge allows me to see multiple sides of the problem and opportunities especially when working with women and young people. #domesticfamilyandsexualharassment, #diversityequityandinclusion #youthrisk Thanks OACWA Inc for recognising those who are making an impact in the community👏

This is what happens when you have someone who knows how to be a great leader.

The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us—fostering creativity, empathy, and beauty. The arts also strengthen our communities socially, educationally, and economically. In Massachusetts, arts and culture is a $27.2 billion industry—4.2% of the state economy—and supports 135,181 jobs (bigger than construction, education, and transportation). The arts accelerate economic recovery: a growth in arts employment has a positive and causal effect on overall employment (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis). Springfield’s nonprofit arts industry alone generates $82.4 million in economic activity annually—spending by organizations and their audiences—which supports 1,483 jobs and generates $15.3 million in local, state, and federal government revenue (Americans for the Arts AEP6 study) Randy Cohen MASSCreative Mass Cultural Council Tiffany Allecia M.Ed.

I couldn't be more grateful for how everything is aligning. My deep passion for the early stage is now funneled into two ways. On the one hand, The Becoming Self is a community for builders. A collective of founders, creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and even 9-5 workers, all connecting and holding themselves accountable while building together to become the person they aspire to be (myself included). On the other hand, Make My Deck is the result of over 3 years in a startup and my involvement in multiple ventures in the last 5 years. Staying close to founders in the crucial early moments of their company and deploying my skills in design, strategy, and accumulated experience in the space. If you're starting out, and lack clarity, just know that you can only connect the dots by looking back. So just keep walking until you find your place. And if you feel stuck, let's have a conversation :)
