For solutions to scale, we need to work specifically across and through distinct spaces, and make sure what we learn is accessible to the people and places we claim to be empowering. Many of them, like the ivory tower of academia, can feel more distant from the realities of people’s everyday lives and the realities they are encountering. Jamira and Jonathan will speak to their experiences building and crafting across communities and in corporate environments, and how they've been leveraging academia to help round out their work and what they have been seeing.
