Executive Director of GOOD TO BE GOOD, Social Entrepreneur, Intersectional Gender Equity Advocate, Community Builder, Friend
Investing in women and gender-diverse people is something we actively do every day at GOOD TO BE GOOD. Not only is it our nonprofit mandate, but we also believe it is a vital long-term solution that benefits everyone. (We’re all interconnected!) Thanks to the support and allyship from partners like Co-operators, one of the ways we invest in our priority communities is by promoting experiences and spaces for them to engage in economic capacity building. With efforts like our “Change Make-Her program,” we know that when women and gender-diverse people with intersecting identities have access to inclusive training, mentorship, opportunities, and supports, they are empowered to build the thriving lives they deserve. It’s not rocket science: invest in all women, invest in our collective liberation.
Happy #IWD2024! This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #InspireInclusion. We’re proud to highlight our incredible partner, GOOD TO BE GOOD (GTBG), a women-led nonprofit that supports and empowers women and gender-diverse individuals in underserved communities through programming and grass-roots services. We sat down with GTBG Board Member, Tenika Bennett, and GTBG Manager of Care Support Services, Lindsay Van Dekerkhove, to chat about their Change Make-Her program and how GTBG inspires inclusion year-round.
