Making Waves with Randi and Dom Part I
Building communities is a process that not only fosters connection amongst people, but it offers a collective space for experience sharing. The act of collective learning and sharing becomes a very empowering practice that can turn into a source of motivation, inspiration, learning and support for the people in the community. One non-profit organization that really harnesses the importance and power of community is Start the Wave. We sat down with the founder of Start the Wave, Dom P-C, and their Project and Research Manager, Randi Ramdeen, for a 2-part interview to discuss how they’ve built this movement that centres on community and accountability so that it can meet people where they’re at, to inspire them to become their own wave-makers.
