“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.”
- Grace Lee Boggs

Hi,
I am Daniela!
(she/they)
I work as a coach and facilitator,
. . . 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!
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, and how to develop agency in oppressive systems.
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 as well as built the resilience I needed to go from crisis to crisis - all day.
Being a care-based community builder means that I strive to intentionally decolonize my mind and actions of harmful practices so that I can incorporate more care into the relationships with others and the planet.
Being an artist means I get tap into creativity as a tool for self reflection, culture change, and to have fun imagining what paths to liberation look like.
I practice emergency preparedness because I believe a just and sustainable future is possible.
You are a changemaker
You know people need time to adjust to changes.
The climate emergency and compiling crises create a sense of urgency, making us all feel like we are short on time.
You want a way to move forward with intention and not urgency.
You know the status quo is not working and you don't want to recreate it as you work to build a more equitable and sustainable future.
You are wondering how to get everyone on the same page.
The climate emergency has highlighted the need for change to many people because the evidence is all around us, but not everyone is on the same page about how we got here and what we need to do about it.
In order to mobilize effectively we need to mobilize together.
I help you support the individuals in your organization, school, or community build emotional resilience so that they can also become changemakers.
Inclusive emergency preparedness ISN'T ONLY about surviving a disaster, IT'S ALSO about building a just and sustainable future.

Testimonials
"(this program) is an incredible experience for educators and humans in general who want to understand the systems that play into the current context of western society. It is important for all people to get to the base understanding of white supremacy culture before we can begin to move forward in a productive way. Also, content is organized and explained in an incredibly lovely way.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who works with other humans!"
