Description

In this enlightening conversation, co-executive directors of the Haywood Burns Institute, Samantha Mellerson and Tshaka Barrows, delve into transformative strategies for reshaping systems to better serve communities. They discuss the importance of community-driven change and the power of collective action in creating lasting impact. Emphasizing the need for inclusive approaches, they highlight the necessity of centering the voices of those most affected by systemic issues.

Samantha Mellerson shares, "True transformation only happens when the communities most impacted are not just consulted but are the ones leading the change." Tshaka Barrows adds, "Systems are designed — and therefore, they can be redesigned. Our work is about seeding success by shifting power to those who have been historically marginalized."

Their insights offer valuable perspectives for anyone interested in understanding and participating in the process of systemic change.
