Last week we had our last Shifters 100 Academy Masterclass with Shona Olalere Oluwatola and it was an incredible final session! 🙌 We explored Dr. Brené Brown’s BRAVING framework and dove into relationship mapping—taking away actionable strategies to strengthen relationships. Our participants left feeling inspired and ready to build connections that will elevate their projects! 💡 We are nearing the end of the Shifters 100 Academy with our closing session this Wednesday! It has truly been wonderful to see all the commitment and collaboration from our young leaders. We can't wait to see what they do next. 🤩
