At the Future Economy Lab, we believe in designing with communities, not just for them. Our partner, Maheen Kaleem from Grantmakers for Girls of Color, is supporting the Future Economy Lab with leading the charge to reshape what power looks like by uplifting the analyses and perspectives of girls and gender expansive youth of Color to make decisions about how capital flows to their communities. Together, we’re illuminating a future shaped by their collective vision: "An abundant future is where we are consistently thriving in a tranquil world, surrounded by a sustainable society built on communal love reimagined, inclusive of all of us and our cultures." When we invest in this vision, we unlock its immense potential to reshape entire sectors and communities. We know the journey ahead won’t be easy, but the impact will be transformative.

🌍 Doomsday? Not Today. As I was scrolling through LinkedIn yesterday, it hit me: the hundreds of people in my network are the bringers of a better future. And for every one of you, there are hundreds more, all united by a commitment to change, no matter what big machines may be running in the background. You don’t give up. You’re out there, literally and figuratively, making things happen, day after day—no matter what games get played in fancy offices. Your endless wisdom, curiosity, and drive to improve the world fill me with so much hope. 🌱✨ You’re the beacons of a new era, pushing forward a vision of equity and harmony. Whether you give it spiritual meaning or simply a desire to live in oneness with our stunning planet, you’re building something real and lasting. 🌎 Yes, it would be great if politicians and leaders fully supported what we’re all working toward. But you’re living proof that from the ground up, we can create change. Together, we’re reclaiming our right to a fair, safe, and beautiful world—for everyone. 💚 So here’s to all of you co-creators who refuse to give up. Let’s keep going, let’s keep dreaming, and let’s keep building that utopian vision. I see you, I thank you, and so do our future generations. 🙏 💬 What’s your “why”? What drives you to keep working for positive change, even when things get tough? For me, it’s my 4-year-old daughter Lilah, who I want to inherit a world in far better shape than I found it. This week’s election results matter. They shape policy and influence change, but the real power is in what we do together—from the ground up. 💪 Let’s share our motivations and encourage each other to keep going strong. #Sustainability #FutureOfWork #ClimateAction #SocialImpact #EnvironmentalJustice #Equity #PlanetEarth #UtopianVision #GrassrootsChange #RegenerativeFuture #HopeForTomorrow #CommunityBuilders #EcoLeadership #InspireChange #TogetherWeThrive #PeoplePlanetPurpose #ClimateJustice #Conservation #Biodiversity #SustainableLiving #Election2024 #VoteForThePlanet

How to Future in a Present-Stuck System By Lydia Caldana When we talk about futures, we envision a horizon at the very least, two years from now. However, to achieve those futures, we need transformations in the present. There is a systemic disconnect between how organisations have been pledging commitments for the future and their existing actions. Short-term mindedness is rooted in conserving the current modus operandi for those who profit from it while misleading the vast majority that they have no agency over it. Foresight challenges these notions and offers tools for present-tense action aimed at futures. 👋 Who can attend? This event is open to anyone willing to embrace uncertainty, welcome a sense of discomfort, cross-pollinate knowledge, and promote diversity and inclusion—always with respect and an open mind. 😎 RSVP for the two events 📆 March 14-15 https://lnkd.in/gK7cg5Qt 📆 March 21-22 https://lnkd.in/gHBsauQh Don't forget to tag someone who might be interested👇🏽👇🏽 hashtag #womenwhofutures #futureshock #presentshock #genderinclusion #futureskills #futuresthinking
