“Every crisis, actual or impending, needs to be viewed as an opportunity to bring about profound changes in our society (...)
by creating images and stories of the future that help us imagine and create alternatives to the existing system.”

Hi,

I am Daniela! 

(she/they)

I work as a coach and facilitator,ā€‹

. . . but I am really that aunty who has a stocked closet for any kind of learning or creative emergency - as well as any ACTUAL emergency, of course!

ā€‹

Being an eldest daughter in a Latinx family meant I grew up as a caregiver and educator - who later took an interest in how cultures develop what colonization has to do with it.  

 

Being an immigrant, (from a place where gas, electricity and running water weren't always available), meant we were always "prepared for emergencies" - even though we didn't see them as emergencies.

 

Being a mental health worker meant I acquired the mental and emotional tools and built the resilience I needed to go from crisis to crisis - all day.

ā€‹

Being a care-based community builder means that I am always learning and practicing personal, collective, and land-based change - because I want us all to thrive.

ā€‹

Being an artist means I ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹get really creative when teaching and brainstorming on emergency preparedness and disaster responses.

ā€‹

I practice emergency preparedness because I believe care-based Liberatory Futures are possible.

Changes due to compiling crises are challenging.

Preparing for change makes it easier.

Support and guidance during this time is a relief.

And when it is grounded in creative care building it is

LIBERATORY.

In our consumer culture many of us only think of emergency preparedness as something we do IN CASE of an emergency.

But in many other cultures  many aspects of what emergency preparedness are collective care.

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

I practice emergency preparedness because it's an opportunity to examine the root cause of the compiling crises we are experiencing, and choose to stay on course or change direction.

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

ā€‹

Let's nurture intersectional and trauma informed spaces that center creativity and social change so that we can be supported in striving for care-based Liberatory Futures for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.

Deepen your relationship with yourself and with your diverse community so that you can create more relevant emergency preparedness plans.

"I AVOID thinking about emergency preparedness, it's too overwhelming!"

ā€‹

ā€‹

Incorporating TRAUMA INFORMED approaches to your emergency preparedness helps you bring some ease to the process - so that you can care for you and your community (and not recreate harmful systems).

ā€‹

 

"I am ALWAYS thinking about emergency preparedness, but I don't know where to start!"ā€‹

ā€‹

ā€‹

Using INTERSECTIONAL approaches in your emergency preparedness helps you take stock of the power you hold - so that you and your community can start from a place of abundance (and move out of stuck mode).

ā€‹

ā€‹

"I am too BUSY to think about emergency preparedness!"

ā€‹ā€‹

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

Taking COLLECTIVE approaches to your emergency preparedness helps you increase your capacity - so that you and your community have more access to time and resources (and not burn out).

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

 

"I am too BROKE to do anything emergency preparedness."ā€‹

ā€‹

ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

Applying ACCESSIBLE approaches to your emergency preparedness helps you find creative ways to meet your needs - so that you and your community can figure out solutions that are inclusive (and remove barriers to participation.)
