✨ Community Organizing and the Importance of Leading with Curiosity ✨ I've been reflecting on two powerful days spent with community members last weekend, working toward equitable outcomes for Cincy kids with the team at the team at the Cincinnati Children's Fisher Center. Our community organizing workshop experience reaffirmed some essential truths about leadership and community co-design: We all know the saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink", but what if water isn't even what they need? It's a reminder that solutions can't be prescribed, and that leading our community into a pre-determined direction isn't actually getting to the heart of the challenges we face. A genuine, questions-first approach to our work together is key. Instead of rushing to answers, we need to take the time to ask the right questions, listen deeply, fully understand the challenges, and be open to new types of solutions. This was a powerful reminder of the importance of working WITH people, not just FOR them. Community empowerment happens when we create *real* spaces for shared decision-making. Too often, we're pressured to jump into solution-mode, when what’s really needed is more understanding and collaboration. Don't get me wrong, the challenges we face are incredibly urgent. But we MUST balance that sense of urgency with giving meaningful space to people's lived expertise. We have to continue to push for a shift—toward truly co-creating with the people most affected. With an authentically curious mindset, who knows where the ideas of our community can take us?! I'm grateful for the opportunity to reflect, listen, and grow alongside such a passionate group of people. Special thanks to Luis Paris-Velazquez and the entire Fisher Center team for their enthusiastic invitation and to Lacey Connelly and her team of incredible facilitators from across the country for leading us through the work. We have a lot of hard work ahead, but with collective action and intentionality, I know that change is within reach. #communityengagement #communityorganizing #codesign

The Power of Community Collaboration 🌍💪🏽 When we work hand-in-hand with communities, the impact is always greater. Community collaboration allows us to design programs that truly address the needs and dreams of the people we serve. Here’s why it matters: 1. Shared Ownership: Community-driven projects foster ownership, with everyone feeling invested in the program’s success. 2. Respecting Local Context: Each community is unique. Working together ensures our programs are culturally sensitive and meet real needs. 3. Celebrating Progress Together: When we celebrate small wins with the community, we build momentum and motivation for the journey ahead. Community collaboration is essential for meaningful, lasting change. Proud to be part of these partnerships that make a difference. #CommunityCollaboration #InclusiveDevelopment #LocalImpact #AchieversGhana

I've learned that saying "yes" more often than not = fun, connections, and worth the time spent. Recently, Structure3C and Bill Johnston asked if I would like to participate in a session with other like-minded community strategists. Obviously, I said yes... and it quickly morphed into a mini-presentation about the Blanchard Community. I was #grateful to share our story and our vision, as well as, connect with like-minded people. Three cheers for the power of YES! #community #communitymanagement #connection #networking
