The Power of Connection in Harnessing Local Momentum for Global Impact

In April 2024, an initiative I led at the Skoll Foundation came to life when 250+ changemakers gathered in Nairobi, Kenya and São Paulo, Brazil for a day of learning, inspiration, and connection. These convenings reminded us of the power of proximity and community– made possible thanks to phenomenal partners at TEDxAmazônia and Docubox, whose vision and heart infused every detail of these gatherings.

I co-wrote a piece for Skoll.org capturing our biggest takeaways and most inspiring lessons. Read it here.
