We got passionate and informed in this episode.I had the honor of hosting @TracyDeTomasi, CEO of Callisto, a survivor-founded nonprofit that has been able to create an encrypted platform allowing sexual assault survivors to find others harmed by the same perpetrator, without requiring them to report or come forward publicly. With a match in the Callisto Vault system, survivors receive free and confidential legal options counseling. This is a win-win-win and yet – with all of the money and resources in the world - Callisto is at risk of closing their doors. How can this be?We dive into a very REAL conversation about what's at stake. Activist, educator and Jeffrey Epstein survivor, Jess Michaels, underscores the fact that surviving sexual assault is difficult on many levels - but it is made a bit easier when you aren't alone in it; Callisto is a force for healing in that sense.The three of us converse boldly about the REAL good being done and the voices and financial backing needed to continue that important work. Join me, Jess, Tracy and the team as we imagine a world in which survivors of sexual violence are supported and empowered to find healing and justice on their own terms.

Jess not only witnessed the impact of mass tragedy all around her but also experienced the full force of her past trauma catching up to her.  In 2015, Jess found immense purpose and hope when she joined Dylan's Wings of Change, a foundation dedicated to Dylan Hockley, one of the first-grade victims in the mass shooting. She helped develop the Wingman program for dance studios, sports, and schools and her work as a speaker & educator on empathy, inclusion, and community-building began. It was there in Newtown, teaching dance classes and working alongside brave parents who lost their children, Jess began to connect the value of shame-free, community-based early trauma intervention to the needs of sexual assault survivors.The 2019 arrest of Epstein motivated her to finally confront her past. Breaking her #MeToo silence, she channeled her own healing journey into action.Today, she's the founder and driving force behind 3Joannes SAFR—a groundbreaking Sexual Assault First Aid Certification Course and SA First Aid Kit (mobile app). Through her work, Jess equips communities with the tools to minimize the devastating long-term effects of sexual violence.Her ultimate goal? To ensure no one else loses decades shackled by the ghosts of unprocessed trauma, as she did.Website: https://www.jessmichaelsspeaks.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/jessmichaelsspeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessmichaelsspeaks?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app  About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

This is a link post. Summary During the last four years, our work for animals in Anima International faced several big challenges.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: I have stepped aside from my role as Executive Director because I think it will help more animals, published by KirstyHenderson on September 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary During the last four years, our work for animals in Anima International faced several big challenges. I took on the role of Executive Director to help cement the foundations of the organization. Now that we want to build on these foundations to achieve even more impact for animals, we need different skills at the helm. Anima International leadership has appointed Jakub Stencel as the new Interim Executive Director. I have moved from the role of Executive Director to that of President. After four years as Executive Director of Anima International, I pushed for my colleague Jakub Stencel to take over the role at the beginning of July. No, I'm not off chasing new opportunities or planning a quiet retreat. I'm not taking time off to be with my family (possibly my family are breathing a sigh of relief right now) And no, I wasn't forced out either. Instead, my colleagues and I came to the less dramatic but far more meaningful conclusion that this change would make us a stronger organization. My tenure Becoming Executive Director was never a goal of mine. I've always considered myself a 'reluctant' leader, often taking the lead when organizing games in primary school (elementary school for the Americans out there) only when no one else volunteered. Ever since deciding over a decade ago that I would dedicate my life to animals, I have simply tried to work wherever I was the most needed. Back in early 2020, I was most needed in the role of Executive Director. And boy, has it been a wild ride. I took the reins just one month after much of the world went into Covid lockdowns. This worldwide crisis turned people's thoughts away from animals. Shortly after, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine started. For years, we had been working to help build the foundations of the animal advocacy movement in both Russia and Ukraine, but the war put all of this work into question. Now, not only did we have to rethink our presence in both countries, but we needed to do all we could to ensure the safety of our colleagues. After lots of deliberation, we reluctantly decided to end our work in Russia, and while work in Ukraine continued for over a year despite the ongoing war, we eventually closed our operations there as well. Throughout all of these difficult moments, our mission to help animals didn't waiver. In Poland, an agricultural powerhouse, we continued to fight for hens - this included making sure that companies are implementing their cage-free policies. An example is our investigation into the largest caged-hen egg farm in the European Union, yet again showing the dreadful systemic abuse of animals. At the same time, we also worked with the private sector to introduce alternatives to animal-based products and pushed the current Polish parliament to be the most animal friendly to date. In Denmark and Norway, we continued to campaign for one of the most abused animals in the world - chickens. We managed to push a significant portion of the private sector to commit to end its worst practices. The impact from our campaigns led to the term 'Turbochicken' - which we introduced to describe breeds of chickens whose genes were selected for the drastically unnatural growth of their bodies - being added, in local vernacular, to the official dictionaries of Denmark and Norway. Furthermore, the Danish government declared they would stop purchasing fast-growing broiler breeds. These events illustrate how far we've pushed society to recognize the horrors of factory farming, a system within which chicks' internal organs collapse under their own weight. In countries where our operations are smaller, we still manage to ...

In this episode, my host Diane Little and I, have a discussion about running for school board as service to every single child, with Anita Galliano. Anita shares with her how her parents' unique sense of family and community--three generations of educators--along with being raised on a reservation in Nebraska and South Dakota informs her sense of family, community, work, and everything she does. She uses this sense of community to face the DEI attacks on the school board in her predominantly white community--standing for every single child, "ruthlessly and relentlessly."This week, our guest is Anita Williams Galiano who is a seasoned professional in executive operations and strategic development, with a specialty in healthcare technology and international supply chain management at Johnson & Johnson. An alumna of the University of Iowa, her BA in Communication, focusing on Organizational Design, underpins her success in strategic facilitation, fundraising, and project management. Anita's deep-rooted commitment to community building is inspired by her family's legacy in education and conservation, including her mother Harriette, a fourth-generation educator, and her father Rufus, a dedicated soil conservationist. Spending more time in the public and non-profit sectors in recent years, Anita was recently named the Interim Executive Director of the Stoutsburg Sourland African America Museum as well as serving a second term on her local school board. Resources: Anita Galliano's email: awilliamsgaliano@ssamu.orgStoutsbug Sourland African American Museum websiteOriginally recorded on July 3, 2024Support the Show.To recomend a guest contact us at: media@FierroConsultingllc.com To support Collective Power join our Patreon

Carrie Freeman is the Chair of the SecondMuse Group,  which includes SecondMuse, the SecondMuse Foundation, and SecondMuse Capital. Carrie is also the Interim Executive Director for the SecondMuse Foundation, a non-profit focusing on advocating for building relational wealth as an approach to building inclusive and resilient economies. SecondMuse focuses on the design, development, and implementation of innovative programming that seeks to benefit people and protect the planet. Over the last decade, SecondMuse has designed and implemented programs on 7 continents with 600+ organizations such as NASA, The World Bank, and Goldman Sachs. SecondMuse's initiatives have delivered the following impact: accelerating 200 + ventures annually; prototyping 50,000+ solutions; enabling $575M investment to supported ventures, with 80% still in business; and generating $10B in social and environmental impact.  Under Carrie's leadership, SecondMuse won numerous awards including the Reuters Responsible Business Award, Real Leaders Most Impactful Leaders, and the YPO Global Impact Award. In this episode, we discuss: ●      The importance of collaboration in solving complex challenges ●      How the timeline of change can determine who the best change partners are ●      The role of intersectionality in systems change Key Takeaways: ●      Navigating the labyrinth of tax and accounting systems is a Herculean task for trailblazing organizations that are marrying commerce with compassion. It's akin to a team of adventurers channeling all their might into deciphering an ancient map, only to have no energy left after deciphering it. This bureaucratic quagmire siphons away the zest they could pour into sculpting a brighter world. As we build a new vision of what a thriving economy, society, and planet means, we need to consider the new types of organizations required to create and sustain that vision. Then, we need to create the systems that allow these new organizational structures to not only exist, but thrive. ●      Think of how easy it is for a kid who grows up in a wealthy neighborhood to snag a great internship through family connections—it's like having a VIP pass to the front of the line. Now think of a kid from a regular family, who doesn't have that golden ticket—it's like they're stuck in the line that barely moves. This is just one way life isn't fair. But when we become aware of the value of networks, and the inherent inequity in opportunities caused by networks, we're able to build solutions that bridge the equity gap. Only then can we find ways to share these VIP passes around so everyone gets a shot at the good opportunities. ●      Getting people to come together for a common goal is like lighting a fire that everyone wants to gather around. Carrie talked about the work SecondMuse does to build networks, community, and solutions around a shared objective. The shared objective is the fire. It's the call to action. This same principle is also powerful inside a company. When you establish a purpose beyond profit for your company, you invite employees and consumers to join a movement that's bigger than themselves. Your purpose acts as a magnet, attracting employees and consumers with aligned values. This shifts the relationship from transactional to emotional and meaningful.  References: ●      Connect with Carrie on LinkedIn ●      SecondMuse ●      SecondMuse Capital ●      SecondMuse Foundation ●      NASA International Space Apps Challenge ●      Circulate Initiative ●      Circulate Capital Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
