We’re so grateful to Inspiring Communities for supporting the first 10 episode of this podcast through a fellowship for our host, Vanessa Paesani!

Inspiring Communities is an equity-centered systems change leader in Atlantic Canada. They are a nonprofit organization based in Nova Scotia.

They offer a space for social change leaders and initiatives to experiment in a learning environment, receive administrative and evaluation support, share experiences with their peers, and develop their capacity to act. They bring those with lived experience, community organizations, government, businesses and changemakers together, to collectively solve the complex social problems we face today. They are strengthening collaborative change efforts in Atlantic Canada.

They aim to build bridges, amplify diverse perspectives, and collaborate. Inspiring Communities believe that the scarcity mindset and fragmentation, that have acted as barriers to change, can be overcome.
