In the past three months as a Regional Director, I've been deeply immersed in the vibrant heart of Detroit, working closely with our local communities. The journey has been both enlightening and profoundly rewarding, offering me firsthand insights into the power of tailored community outreach. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Listening is Fundamental: True engagement starts with listening. Detroit's diverse voices have taught me that understanding unique community needs leads to more impactful initiatives. 2. Collaboration Over Competition: Partnering with local leaders and organizations isn't just beneficial; it's essential. These collaborations strengthen our outreach efforts and multiply the impacts of our shared goals. 3. Adaptability is Key: Each community has its dynamics and challenges. Adapting our approach to meet these specific circumstances has been crucial in fostering trust and achieving our objectives. These insights have not only informed our strategic approaches but also deepened my dedication to advancing criminal justice reform and improving public policy. As I continue to learn and grow in this role, I am excited about the potential to drive even more meaningful change in the months and years to come! #CommunityOutreach #SocialJustice

I can't wait to see what the next two years bring for Creating Community Consulting! #organizationalculture #communitydriven #collaboration #communitygrowth

This year's #LearningDisabilityWeek theme is 'Do You See Me?' which is all about being seen, heard and valued.
