Addressing Complex Social Change...What if... | Tracey Greene-Washington | TEDxAsheville

- Addressing complex social change is like piecing together a complicated puzzle; it's messy, it's hard, and it requires new perspectives, muscles, and models. The CoThinkk model challenges the very idea of how we address complex social change by shifting the widely accepted idea of what a traditional "philanthropist" is by co-creating a shared leadership platform that is led by African-American and Latinx leaders that are working collectively to address systemic issues, support healing, and spur innovation. Serving as a game changing shift in the field of philanthropy, the Cothinkk approach is confronting deeply held beliefs, biases, and assumptions, while creating intentional space for African-American & Latinx grassroot leaders to craft a new puzzle around addressing complex social change. Tracey Greene-Washington is the President of Indigo Innovation Group, a consulting firm dedicated to serving as a strategic thought-partner, advisor and consultant to philanthropic and nonprofit organizations committed to accelerating change through system-level approaches, equity, and strategic collaboration. In addition to this role she is the Founder of CoThinkk, a social change philanthropy committed to shifting the economic mobility, health, education, and leadership narrative of communities of color in Western NC through strategic investments, network-building, and civic discourse. With a nineteen-year career track record of tackling complex social issues, she’s gained a reputation as a passionate, innovative leader that is committed to partnering with organizations/communities to be more impactful by targeting systemic change, taking risk, and accelerating efforts at the intersection of community economic development, health and education. In addition, she is a board member of the NC Early Childhood Foundation, Education NC and NC Center for Public Policy Research and holds an MSW from USC. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

@@nicholaskolokotrone i think we all do
Sometimes, well lots of times TEDs done in the past still manage to meet the future. So how complex is it right now?
I like the talk, but so many of the issues are we aren't talking as people, everyone has their face in phones and we dont talk...
Thank you for your note. We definitely have to create intentional space to talk and hear one another. Together we are strong and can solve these complex social issues.
@@traceygreene-washington5642 Thanks Tracey, you gave a great talk.
Community redevelopment

Lack of resources
Crime
Poverty
No commercial areas

Lost of spirit
Everything is changing, and now more than in my history what if is getting less important than it ever was, because it just is.
Some serious social change happening now!
The first battle is recognizing the issues.
