Belonging isn’t just about fitting in. It’s about creating spaces where we can show up as our full, authentic selves. As leaders and facilitators, we have the power to build cultures where every voice is valued and every story is heard. This is the real work of belonging.

Human-centered design and participatory planning aren’t the same. One centers empathy; the other centers power-sharing. In nonprofits, confusing them can lead to tokenism instead of true collaboration. Let’s move from designing for communities to planning with them.

Facilitation means creating space for transformation. I lead with humility, knowing that unlearning and healing take time. True change happens when people feel safe enough to reflect, let go of old narratives, and reclaim their voice.

ERGs act as Communities of Practice, fostering shared learning and advocacy. ERGs like "Working Parents" advocated for flexible work during the pandemic. If these models were accessible to broader communities, they could empower diverse groups to drive social change.
