Great to be back again serving as emcee at the 17th Annual Hearts of Texas Luncheon, honoring Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Randy Bowman, Community Partners of Dallas and the Lewisville ISD. Volunteerism transforms lives! Thanks to Volunteer Now CEO, Rachel Currie Triska, for inspiring her incredible team. Americans gave 4.1 billion hours of service to humanity as volunteers last year. There's nothing more impactful than making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. As I share in my keynote address: "Live your life as a go-getter, yet, forever share your life as a go-giver."

Committed to equitable, accessible and community centered solutions to drive social change!
#CommunityEngagement is a term widely used yet has vastly different interpretations. In my very biased opinion, to be effective agents of social change, it is important for us to recognize that we ALL ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS and we each have beautifully diverse talents, skills, resources, power and influence that must be woven together to achieve our shared goals. When we engage with one another, for GHI, it means far more than transactional interactions or checking a box. It means earning trust, being in fellowship, developing an understanding of nuance, not shying away from tough conversations and centering those who are most effected by the inequities we aspire to eliminate. I offer a glimpse into who I am, where I have been and how I aspire to lead as an arbiter of GHI's community engagement efforts with hopes that you each will allow me to learn from your wisdom. #healthequity #maternalhealth #ruralhealth #advocacy #organizing #ittakesavillage #foundation
"As we continue to walk in partnership with our fellow Georgians in our pursuit of fostering health equity, we must do so earning trust, listening actively, being in fellowship often, honoring our past, and being additive to an extraordinarily complex landscape." In our latest Leadership Blog Post, our VP of Community Engagement, Ky Lindberg, shares thoughts on the role of community engagement at the Initiative, and the three core beliefs that have guided her since she was a child. https://lnkd.in/d3VfdSmk

Black History Month is here, and the Guelph Black Heritage Society and The Kween Company will end the month with Black Vacation Week - a time for rest and connection. "Recognizing the depth of planning events, hosting and the amount of work that is done over BHM, it is often that Black people do not get the time off or time needed to connect with their community," reads a post from The Kween Company last February. I would love to know if other organizations, especially nonprofits, have adopted this initiative. Reach out if so for a possible Future of Good story. You can learn more from this 2023 article: https://lnkd.in/g3Vkr7uJ

RESPECT The Haven Community Development Corporation is collaborating with the Center For Transforming Communities on their public health initiative. Advocating for equitable public health policies and programs in communities of color to improve the physical, mental, spiritual and social well being of the black community. We are attending a powerful Measuring Love training. Basically asking how do you measure and show love to the black community. While going through this training I thought about the Black Code of Conduct that RESPECT The Haven CDC has adopted for our 95 percent Black community of Whitehaven. Dr. Claud Anderson, author of Powernomics, The National Plan To Empower Black America says every Black community should adopt a Code of Conduct. How we will love each other, care for each other and support each other. RESPECT The Haven CDC believes by following these rules of conduct we will grow in LOVE and RESPECT for one another. My question to you is how do you measure love?
