Preface: The origins of the phrase are a mystery. It takes a village to raise a child is a proverb spirited from African or Native American cultures. The phrase translates into saying that it takes an entire community of different people interacting with children for children to experience and grow in a safe environment.

The thought leaders, game-changers, and innovators we look up to are often impacted by the same thing: they’ve been exposed to people, environments, and interactions that have helped shape and define who they are today.

The It Takes a C-Tribe Village Podcast aims to identify, dissect, and celebrate the unsung heroes, things, and experiences that have impacted the greatest minds of our generation and how these individuals are paying it forward for those to come.

Guest: Dani Moffatt, Specialist, ERIN Operations
Interviewer: Sahr Saffa, Chairperson, C-Tribe

Bio:
Danielle loves Japanese animation, manga and manhua, art, east Asian cuisine, and books that inspire and entertain. She is a dynamic, creative, strategic individual, and her peers regard her as a social justice warrior. This trait was developed after working for the Bureau of Gender Affairs in Jamaica. She has also worked for the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Office in Jamaica as a Senior Policy Analyst, where she reviewed national policies and provided sound advice to the Prime Minister and their agents.

Since relocating to Canada, Danielle has held many volunteer roles, but she is particularly interested in the issue of home insecurity. She has co-chaired Habitat for Humanity Edmonton’s Community Advisory Committee, where she worked towards improving accessibility policies and the organization’s community engagement initiatives. She is also keen on developing innovative solutions to Canada’s housing crisis.

Danielle is a leader who embraces challenges and loves finding out-of-the-box solutions to these challenges. This is what attracted her to the project management field and her current role as the Operations at Specialist ERIN. Her bottom-up approach to management allows her to understand the ecosystem's needs.

Danielle is a woman of many talents who grabs life by the horns and lives by the motto that only your best is good enough.
