  • Finding Your Niche

    “I’m feeling a powerful pull to shift all my energy into community building… specifically inspiring and supporting people to collaborate and build the neighbourhoods or local communities they want. There are a lot of angles I’m passionate about, but I’m not sure how to narrow down my focus to what will meet the greatest need right now. Do you have any advice to begin doing “market research” to determine a specific niche to focus on”

  • Influence: persuading people to care about and support your cause

    “How do I get people to care about issues that they seem so far removed from? It’s hard to get people to care about things that don’t affect them?”

  • Effective Conversation Skills for Social Change

    “Whenever I try to talk with people in my family about the issues I care about, it often ends in a heated debate. I want to be able to get my family and friends to understand why I’m so passionate about these things, but I find myself avoiding conversations like this. How can I get better at have conversations about social issues?”

  • Voluntourism: more harm than good?

    “Before covid hit I was planning a volunteer trip abroad in South America, since I can’t go I’ve been looking in to it more and I’m starting to question if these trips are legit or not. Can you explain whether or not they genuinely change people’s lives?"

  • Should I become an activist?

    “With everything that’s been happening in the world, I went to my first ever protest recently for the black lives matter movement. I’ve always admired people who do activism, but a lot of people in my life tend to label activists as left-wing extremists, and they think that activists are all unemployed people who have nothing better to do with their time then complain. Before I get further involved I want to know why activism is important?”

  • What is advocacy?

    "I hear the word advocacy thrown around a lot but I don’t really understand what it means. How is advocacy different to activism? I’m not sure whether to call myself an advocate or activist?”

  • What does it mean to “Be The Change”

    “I’ve often been told that change starts from within, and we have to be the change we want to see in the world… but that doesn’t feel like enough to make an impact. What are your thoughts on this?”
