Behind the Vision
“The two most important days of our lives are the day we are born and the day we find out why.”
Life has a funny way of guiding us through the most unexpected journey's. If you're like me, you try your best to plan, predict and have some semblance of control over this when in reality the only the we have control over is who we are and what we do. That said, the "who we are" and "what we do" are so incredibly important. Some people spend their whole lives searching for their purpose and others are blessed to know it from the start.
- Innovation: I created Orenda & Co to help those searching for their passion/purpose to have access to the resources, mentors, and inspiration that they need to make their dreams a reality. I truly believe that everyone has Orenda and if I can help them find theirs, together, we will make a difference in this world.
- Prevention: I also created Orenda to connect communities and organizations with the expertise and resources that they need to make sustainable change around issues such as sexual violence prevention, social justice, intersectionality, and more.
- Philanthropy: The last and most critical component of Orenda is to create channels of support for those who are seeking to change the world. Through philanthropy, I hope to bring together those with the means and resources that are willing to invest in promising projects with those that have the talent, drive, and passion to make those projects impactful.
