Jess Feingold, Sandhya Nakhasi, and Jennifer Njuguna: Taking Up The Call to Help Change the World

In this episode: We hear from Jess Yupanqui Feingold, Sandhya Nakhasi, and Jennifer Njuguna, the Co-CEOs of Common Future discuss their trifecta for impact!

Listen in as Kristine, Jess, Jen, and Sandhya discuss:

  • How a Co-CEO model makes play and experimentation inevitable

  • And how three (CEOs, that is) is better than one 

  • How good nonprofit leadership is like a Hollywood writers’ room

  • Whether “trinary” is a word – and, if not, maybe it should be

  • Why the change sector needs visionaries, guides … and risk-takers

Key Takeaways:

  • Move away from binary thinking, and use creativity and imagination to grow new ideas

  • Play, play, play all day, day, day (just ask Jess’ mom)

  • Nonprofit intermediaries can step in, speak up, and flex the change muscle like no other players in the sector.

  • There is no single solution to create an equitable economy – we all have a role … 

  • And how to find yours!

"Everyone has a role to play. We all have an individual power, regardless of where we are situated, and also a collective power. Tap into that. Tap into the play and hope to create and shape the world that we want." — Jennifer Njuguna 

About Common Future:  Common Future is multiracial and women-led, with a staff and board that are majority people of color. We are audacious, expansive, and unapologetic thinkers and doers who bring lived experience to the problems we tackle.
