    Social Change
Catalyst & Passionista
What do you hope to gain from the
   StartingBloc Fellowship, and how
   do you see the Institute and the
   StartingBloc network helping you
   to achieve your future goals?:
         Good Question……
”Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You
cannot uneducate the person has learned to read. You can
not humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot
oppress the people who are not afraid anymore…the future
is ours. C. Chavez
Brittany, the Passionista

               pass·ion·is·ta
                  /paSHnEsta/
               Noun:
               a woman who chooses to
                  break free of the
                  pressures to become a
                  "Fashionista" alone; her
                  beauty emanates from a
                  decision to become a
                  woman who is powerful,
                  purposeful, and
                  passionate:
               "That passionista is
                  changing the world!".
               Synonyms:
               noun. world changer -
                  purpose pursuer - dream
                  realizer
For every failure, and every fear, every defeat, and for every fault that can be
   found in the world there is a grand opportunity….




An opportunity to utilize these forces as the mechanisms that drive us
closer, more committed, to making this world a better place.
At the New York
2012 Institute I
hope to..
Gain insight on how to
leverage ideas for social
change as vehicles for
economic growth.

Create lasting relationships
with fellow champions for
change.

Receive valuable knowledge
that will help me increase my
social impact.

Stir my creativity in the field
of social innovation by
exploring new ideas for social
entrepreneurship and
intrapreneurship.
I am committed to working to
                                  make the world a better
                                          place.




Social Innovation + Economic Value Creation= SOCIAL GOOD
Completion of the fellowship will help me to move more closely to my goals by equipping
me with the knowledge and skills I need to strategically and successfully carry out my
mission of “Helping the next generation of young women in leadership launch
sustainable social enterprises.”

   I will be able to help young women see that there is hope in aligning purposes and
                                   passions with profit.
Collaboration is Key
Simply stated, I
hope to follow the
path of those who
 have gone before
   me in creating
   positive social
   change, while
  leaving my own
social footprints on
 the landscape of
 change for those
who may desire to
     follow me.
