Kerry Rodgers | Civil Society & Philanthropy

January 29, 2021 • Sarah Gerber & Joanne Gouaux • Season 2 • Episode 4

Do you believe in your ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of strangers in distress? What role can you play in creating societal change, and rekindling a spirit of love and hope for humanity? In this episode, Joanne and Sarah are in conversation with Kerry Rodgers, an artist, educator, activist, and social impact entrepreneur in San Francisco.

Kerry talks about her work, influences, and inspirations, and how these experiences of getting "proximate" to suffering can deepen understanding and change lives.

Together they grapple with complexities in a conversation that explores a person's willingness to use kindness to meet people where they are and describes how even small acts can change lives, shape culture, and restore a sense of vitality to communities.
