Description

Among many other topics, we explore:

What Belonging Really Means: Amy explains the “B” in DEI&B and why fostering a true sense of belonging is crucial for equitable systems, especially in education and corporate spaces.

From Teacher to Changemaker: How burnout, motherhood, and a post-pandemic shift led Amy to leave the classroom and expand her mission in new and unexpected ways.

The Power of Simulated Empathy: A poverty simulation rocked Amy’s world and ignited a fire to build programs that connect stakeholders with the real challenges marginalized families face.

Designing a Support Ecosystem: Amy lays out her vision for a mentorship-based, multi-layered program that connects families in need with accessible, relevant, and local resources through tailored workshops and personal guidance.

Funding and Sustainability in Service Work: We discuss the myth that good deeds are free, and why sustainable funding, partnerships, and social enterprise models are essential to scale meaningful change.

Reimagining Education for Adults: Amy shares her idea for digital “packages” on personal finance and healthcare navigation, designed for working adults who didn’t learn these life skills in school, and how every purchase could support someone in need.

Join us for this energizing and grounded conversation about service, systems change, and what happens when an educator takes her compassion beyond the classroom.
