For Changemakers

The tools and frameworks we are creating are for anyone seeking to create equitable systems. 

We know that context matters, and these tools were birthed in the context of our collaborative. A collaborative made up of practitioners who were ourselves hungry for tools that would support us in centering community in order to create more equitable systems.

The videos below share the stories of four of our collaborative members – of why they joined this effort and how they envision using these tools in their own lives and work. 

We share these videos not to limit your imagination of how you might use the tools and frameworks, but to make visible the cultural context and experiences that shaped the tools and the changemakers we were striving to support as we developed them.

As any good system changer will know, you can only ever tell the story from your perspective. Like tributaries flowing into a river and a river into the ocean, our intention is to invite others to tell their story so we can see what this picture looks like and where we might need to go next.
