HONORING CARL: Finding Your Role in the Social Change Ecosystem
We are back sharing another special episode in honor of our beloved executive director, Carl Hamad-Lipscombe.

Deepa is an activist, facilitator, lawyer, strategist and the author Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection. In this conversation, you’ll hear Carl reflect on his own roles in the social change ecosystem — a critical combination of talent, perspective and skill that are already sorely missed.
