A few years ago, we walked into a classroom ready to teach social enterprise.
What we didn’t expect was how much Gen Z would teach us instead.
They questioned everything.
They cared deeply about values over titles 🤍
They wanted real impact—not polished narratives.
No hype. No performative purpose.
Just honesty, curiosity, and a strong sense of why.
Looking back now, so many of those conversations still shape how we think about impact, brands, and building with intention 🌱

Can we hear some thoughts from our Gen Z friends? 💬
What feels true? What’s missing? What matters most to you today?

What if success was measured not only in numbers—but in names, faces, and lives changed along the way?

We’ve seen what’s possible when communities are heard, not spoken for. When empathy guides innovation. When profit becomes a means, not the mission.

This is social innovation.
Intentional work. Honest collaboration. Long‑term commitment.

Not a trend.
Not a buzzword.
A responsibility—to build solutions that endure and systems that serve many, not just a few.

If you believe business can do better, you’re already part of what comes next.✨

An insightful weekend at Social Enterprise Conference at Harvard University.

On a campus predating the formation of the US, among diverse generations of learners, practitioners, and leaders motivated to further social impact— we gathered, listened, and shared.

We’re putting together a few high level notes & resources to pass along to the William Factory Small Business Incubator’s EdTech Cluster in Tacoma, led by Executive Director Tim Strege. And, to share with the broader community. Please feel free to comment to receive a link via DM!

Thank you to the organizers for hosting thoughtful sessions and to the speakers and presenters for engaging with candor and authenticity.

Truly lovely to connect and converse with inspiring folks working on bold their social impact initiatives.

In all good things ✨

Honored to share that I’ll be presenting at the 2025 Flagship Fellowship Summit, powered by Comcast — a global gathering of impact-driven entrepreneurs who believe in the potential of thoughtful, community-centered work to spark meaningful change.

Since our immersive session in Boulder, CO in August, our cohort has been meeting online regularly — sometimes up to 6 hours a week — plus one-on-ones and additional sessions. It has given us the rare chance to see one another through different seasons of our work, lives, and growth.

I’m grateful for the Watson team, our many mentors, and the incredible resources they’ve shared. And, of course the inspiring fellows who have been on the journey together.

At the Summit, I’ll be representing and sharing the work and vision that continues to drive us: helping making social entrepreneurship more transformative and actionable for people and organizations.

🌍 The Summit is a virtual global event featuring live pitches from fellows around the world, opportunities to connect with leaders and changemakers, and ideas you can carry back into your own work and community. There are over 500 rsvps! It’s open for anyone to attend— so feel free to mark your calendars and join us.

📅 November 25
🕣 7:30–9:30 AM PST
💻 Virtual Event — Registration Required
🔗 Save your spot: https://lnkd.in/gC9u3RGr

Thanks for cheering on this journey — and for supporting the broader community of changemakers who continue to believe in a more inclusive, imaginative, and impactful future.

One of the best parts of gaining wisdom through steps forward, sideways, and in the opposite direction— is being able to share it with others.

Enjoyed sharing this candid session with fellow fellows. It covered on tips, tricks, and lessons from our experience in publishing books and launching Quad Press Publishing.

For any writers / publishers— would love to hear one learning you’ve gained (and would pass on) since launch 🙌🏽☺️✨

DC magic is real ✨ Reflecting on a few formative days in Washington DC:
-

Thank you and for the opportunity to participate in the Bold Movers program alongside 13 incredible women founders, and leaders across the US and Canada. We have spent 5 months connecting via online sessions, and met in-person this week in the nation’s capital.

We explored leadership styles, heard stories of pivot and rise from panelists, leaned into team building, and pitched our work and invitations for collaboration.

Amid a backdrop of seismic shift— being in the company of committed changemakers felt especially meaningful.

Deep gratitude to VV and SW leadership, including Bijan Moore, Brittney Knotts, PhD, and Jacqueline Deacutis and my mentor J Rizk.

Cheers to fellow participants— i.e. the wisdom in the room 🙌🏽. Please check out their work, connect, and amplify— remarkable leaders sparking incredible impact:
