👥 How can we balance the diverse needs within affinity groups to foster true community uplift and care? 💪 And how do we measure success? I had the incredible opportunity this past weekend to dive deep into these questions at the The BOND Project conference, facilitating a session titled "Lifting as We Climb: Affinity Groups as Community Uplift and Care." The energy and engagement from all the participants truly made this a transformative experience! Thank you to Daman Harris and the BOND team for the opportunity to share. In the session, we explored effective strategies from my book for creating successful affinity spaces and discussed practical ways to meet diverse needs, ensuring that every member feels seen and supported. As you can see from this brief clip, there was positive *buzz* in the room as we harnessed each other's brilliance! 👇 👇 👇 For those who missed the session or are eager to delve deeper into the discussion, I encourage you to sign up for the newsletter.
