Shifting the System: Incorporating a Holistic, Community-Driven Approach to Development with Solomé Lemma

For Episode 14 of the Next Normal Podcast, Amit Bouri is joined by Solomé Lemma, executive director of Thousand Currents, to discuss how to build long-lasting, community-led initiatives to improve and “shift” the current socioeconomic system.

Drawing on experiences with partners, Solomé illustrates how trusting leaders who are doing the work and trusting their communities are key to building an enabling environment that leads to transformational change. By moving focus from the result to the process, funders and investors allow organizations to think and build with an eye to the long-term.
