I will use a data driven structured approach, First, conduct a data-driven needs assessment, creating detailed problem statements that outline the problem, gaps, impact, and potential solutions. Then, use a prioritization matrix, considering factors like severity, impact, mission alignment, and sustainability, to rank needs. Involve beneficiaries and collaborate with partners to ensure decisions are informed and resources are shared. Transparency is crucial Allocate funds strategically based on the prioritized needs and continuously evaluate program effectiveness using clear metrics. This data-driven, collaborative, and adaptable approach ensures that limited funds are used to address the most critical needs and achieve maximum impact.

Escutar é fundamental para o sucesso da ação. Um dos maiores erros, é chegarmos de fora, com nossa bagagem cheia de boas ideias e intenções, mas sem conhecer de fato a comunidade local, suas dores e anseios. Por isso, escuta ativa, escuta sem julgamento e planejamento estruturado, farão toda diferença.

Para garantizar la inclusión en el diseño de un programa, primero me aseguro de comprender a fondo las necesidades de la comunidad, involucrando a sus miembros desde el inicio. Escuchar diferentes perspectivas permite crear soluciones que realmente los representen. También incorporo accesibilidad en cada etapa, desde opciones multilingües hasta compatibilidad con la ADA. La inclusión no es un paso único, sino un proceso continuo, por lo que evalúo y ajusto constantemente según el feedback recibido. ¿Cómo manejas la inclusión en tus proyectos?

3 bits of advice? 1) Collaboration is KEY. 🔑 It’s not inclusive if an intersectional range of voices were not included in the design. 2) Be open to the fact that you will mess up and get it wrong. 🥲 Truly inclusive programs require thinking about all forms of inequity, you’re likely to still not create something that fits for all and be open to that challenge when it comes to 3) It needs to challenge the status quo, challenge the harmful ideas that exist about minoritised people rather than unexpectedly replicating them in the fabric of your design

Designing for a diverse community means building with people, not just for them. My approach starts with listening—engaging voices from all backgrounds early, and making them part of the process. I focus on: 🔹 Accessibility by design 🔹 Cultural awareness in language, imagery & UX 🔹 Equity in digital access 🔹 Inclusive teams behind inclusive work It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued—online and offline. If you're building inclusive programs or want to collaborate on one, I’d love to connect and share ideas. #InclusiveDesign #Accessibility #CommunityDriven #Leadership #EquityInTech #DesignForImpact
