About the Event
Join us for a Collective Conversation with Deborah Frieze, co-founder of the Boston Impact Initiative and Unlock Ownership, about how to harness the power of emergence to create and sustain healthy, resilient and inclusive communities. Deborah is going to share the Two Loops model, a powerful framework for understanding how systems change and new possibilities emerge in times of disruption.
In this interactive conversation, we’ll explore the roles each of us can play to respond wisely and well to increasing levels of chaos in our political, economic, social and ecological systems. This session will offer a hopeful and practical lens for anyone working toward systems transformation, social change, and regenerative futures—and help us find our place within the broader arc of change.
Guest Speaker
Deborah Frieze is an American social entrepreneur, author, and educator focused on building fairer local economies and stronger communities. She is the co-founder of the Boston Impact Initiative (BII), an impact-investing fund that supports diverse entrepreneurs and works to reduce economic inequality. Frieze previously worked in the technology sector after earning an MBA from Harvard Business School, but later shifted her career toward social change and community-based economic systems. She is also the co-author of Walk Out Walk On, which highlights communities around the world creating innovative solutions to social and economic challenges, and the co-originator of the Berkana Two Loops Model, a framework that explains how new systems emerge to replace outdated ones through community leadership and innovation. Her work centers on promoting local ownership, inclusive investment, and community resilience.

About the Event
White men sit at a unique intersection of race and wealth — and most justice spaces aren't designed with that in mind. This three-session virtual workshop is. Come ready to go deep, think concretely, and leave with a real plan for what's next.

About the Event
Imagine a world where your resources do more than just grow—they ignite change. When couples are aligned, their money can do just that. Impact Collective founder, Julia Johannsen, and Breaking the Mold co-founder, Ethan Kerr, will team up for this special 3-part workshop experience, open to couples of all races, orientations and backgrounds. The workshop will offer a unique opportunity for couples to explore some of the challenges and opportunities of aligning their money with their values. We will explore our relationship dynamics through lenses of race and gender, and consider some of the implications for our partnerships, our money, and our impact on the world.
