ROOTED Ep 10: Dana François - W.K. Kellogg Foundation (Haiti)
<p>Rooted: Stories of Community-Driven Change is a partnership between Island Girls Rock and the Clara Lionel Foundation. We came to this series with a question: what does it look like when change is truly driven by community? </p><br><p>Across Season One, we found not one answer but many, each shaped by a distinct place, a particular history, and the specific kind of courage it takes to keep showing up.</p><br><p>We close with Dana François, Programme Officer for Haiti at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a conversation about long-term investment, narrative power, and what it truly takes to ensure that Haiti is seen not as a place defined by crisis, but as a place of innovation, leadership, and resilience.</p><br><p>If you haven’t yet listened to the full season, all ten episodes are available now and each conversation is worth sitting with.</p><br><p>This is where Season One of Rooted rests. We are so grateful for every woman who sat with us, and for every listener who travelled with us.</p><br><p>This podcast is hosted by Chantal Miller</p><p>Produced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal Miller</p><p>Edited by BreAnna Holmes</p><br><p>See more from W.K.

ROOTED Ep 9: Dr. Renée Rattray - Island Futures (Broader Caribbean)
<p>In this episode of Rooted, we are in conversation with Dr. Renée Rattray, a Jamaican educator, thought leader, and education activist who has spent more than two decades working to transform how Caribbean children are taught, how Caribbean systems are led, and how the region imagines its own future.</p><br><p>Dr. Rattray is the founder of One Love Pedagogy, a Caribbean-rooted educational framework that places love, identity, culture, and community at the centre of how learning is designed and delivered. She is also the President and Founder of Island Futures Fund, a Caribbean-led nonprofit working at the intersection of education, cultural identity, and climate readiness.</p><br><p>She speaks with honesty and depth about choosing teaching over law, moving through classrooms and whole systems until she understood that the work she needed to do could not be contained within structures that already existed. Love, she argues, is not a soft word, it is a rigorous and demanding framework for how education must be reimagined. And at the heart of everything she has built sits one unshakeable belief: that Caribbean children carry brilliance, and that it is our systems not our children that must rise to meet it.</p><br><p>This podcast is hosted by Chantal Miller</p><p>Produced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal Miller</p><p>Edited by BreAnna Holmes</p><br><p>See more from Island Futures here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/irrs6vr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">islandfuturesfund.org</a></p><br><p>See more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/CLFwebsite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">claralionelfoundation.org</a></p><br><p>See more from Island Girls Rock here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/podIGRwebsite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">islandgirlsrock.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

ROOTED Ep 8: Florence Jean-Louis Vorbe - PROFAMIL (Haiti)
<p>A gentle note before you listen: this episode contains references to sexual violence and the experiences of women living under conditions of extreme danger. We share this with warmth and with care, and we invite you to listen in whatever way feels right for you.</p><br><p>In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Florence Jean-Louis Vorbe, Executive Director of PROFAMIL, the Association for the Promotion of the Haitian Family, and one of Haiti’s most respected voices in sexual and reproductive health.</p><br><p>Founded in 1984, PROFAMIL has been a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people across Haiti, delivering care through permanent clinics, mobile health units, and community health networks that reach into the country’s most remote and vulnerable communities. Florence has led this work through earthquakes, hurricanes, political violence, the collapse of public services, and now the withdrawal of international aid, and through all of it, PROFAMIL has remained open, present, and committed to the people it serves.</p><br><p>In this conversation, Florence takes us back to the beginning: how she found her way to this work, what Haiti looked like for women and girls when she first stepped into this field, and what made her believe that change was possible even then. She speaks honestly and with depth about women’s bodies and dignity in a moment of acute crisis, about the vision behind PROFAMIL’s commitment to building programmes that do not depend entirely on international donors, and about genuine partnership grounded in listening rather than assumption.</p><p>This is a conversation centred on endurance and love, on what it takes to keep showing up for your community decade after decade, and on the quiet, steady courage of women who refuse to let the people around them go without care.</p><br><p>Florence Jean-Louis Vorbe is a woman who has earned her rootedness. We are honoured she is here.</p><br><p>This podcast is hosted by Chantal Miller</p><p>Produced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal Miller</p><p>Edited by BreAnna Holmes</p><br><p>See more from PROFAMIL here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/cifyhwd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://profamil.org</a></p><br><p>See more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/CLFwebsite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.claralionelfoundation.org</a></p><br><p>See more from Island Girls Rock here: <a href="https://rebrand.ly/podIGRwebsite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://islandgirlsrock.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
