More Than a Meal: Strengthening the Future of Queen City Kitchen
While Queen City Kitchen focuses on alleviating hunger with care and respect, Clifford Consulting is helping them strengthen the "business of doing good." We are currently partnering with their leadership to expand and diversify their funding base. By supporting the new Executive Director in community outreach and long-term strategic planning, we are ensuring that QCK’s vital work at Walnut Hills Baptist Church remains a permanent and growing resource for our neighbors.
Strategic Planning with the Eyes of Freedom Memorial
Eyes of Freedom works to create a healing environment for veterans and military families through art and community connections.
Transforming community organizing
Earlier this year, an article I co-authored with Katy Heins was published in the inaugural issue of the Community Organizing Journal. In this paper, we explore the benefits of using a liberatory feminist framework for reimagining the field of community organizing. Our argument is that this approach provides a critical path toward building healthy, just, and inclusive environments, empowering communities to effectively challenge power dynamics and create meaningful, lasting change. The relevance of this work, particularly the call for structural change and consistent practice of our principles, has become more pronounced in recent months.
