At the heart of every transformative movement is a shared vision—and for us, that vision was born at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Education. We are two passionate individuals, brought together by a deep commitment to creating a more compassionate and just world. Our shared journey began with a simple yet powerful belief: real change starts at the grassroots level.
As we immersed ourselves in our studies, we came to understand that lasting transformation doesn’t stem from distant policy decisions or top-down approaches—it thrives in the hearts and hands of those who are closest to the challenges. This is where we saw the true power of community-driven action. It is the tireless efforts of individuals working within their own neighborhoods—often with limited resources but boundless dedication—that can create ripples of lasting change.
