The Power of Intention and Courageous Conversations: Reflecting on my JEI Creative Capital Calling
Reflections from JEI alum Tory Dietel Hopps.
JEI was transformative. The immersions helped me become a part of a new community of compassionate, creative, and brilliant people. The experience helped me realize that technical knowledge is necessary but not sufficient for achieving social and environmental change.

Heron FoundationAs a result of being in the fellowship, I let so many things go. I have more space in my life to think, develop strategy and show up as my full self for my community. The JEI advisors, team and staff were so supportive of me and my gifts. I feel like I grew six inches taller.
