“Every crisis, actual or impending, needs to be viewed as an opportunity to bring about profound changes in our society (...)
by creating images and stories of the future that help us imagine and create alternatives to the existing system.”

Hi,
I am Daniela!
(she/they)
My background is in art, community building and education.
I burnt out of front-line mental health work and community. I wanted to "be the change I wanted to see in the world" but I eventually figured out that exploitive and extractive community care work wasn't it.
Most of us are conditioned to believe we need to be hyper-independant, fit in, fake it till we make it, and give without expecting anything in return - even in community care work.
But for changemakers - this doesn't make sense, we just burn out and the system keeps on going.
Changemakers need to understand the systems we are working within, where we want to go, AND how to get there (hint it takes more than changing policies and procedures).
Changemaking starts from the inside out, I help guide you.
DEAR CHANGEMAKER,
Whether you are a non-profit leader, social entrepreneur, or community leader INCLUSIVE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SUPPORTS CHANGEMAKERS IN:
-
cultivating trauma-informed emergency response by preparing your nervous system and the nervous systems of those in your community, to take action - rather than react - in an emergency so that you can care for your community by making the safest decisions possible.
-
fostering land-based problem solving for framing decolonization, anti-oppression, the solidarity economy, and creative curiosity so that you can look to the land for guidance in navigating community care in an emergency.
-
strengthening intersectional collaboration by understanding and preparing to meet all the different access needs in your community, so that in an emergency no one gets left behind, everyone has a say as to what community care in practice looks like.
so that you can build resilience and co-create a just and sustainable future.

Testimonials
"(this program) is an incredible experience for educators and humans in general who want to understand the systems that play into the current context of western society. It is important for all people to get to the base understanding of white supremacy culture before we can begin to move forward in a productive way. Also, content is organized and explained in an incredibly lovely way.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who works with other humans!"
