This week was filled with lots of meetings and lots of planning. As PrimaryOne Health is gearing up for National Healthcare Center Week, ribbon cuttings, and lots of things in between. It has been really exciting to be apart of the planning of the different events that are coming up, and it has been a great insight into how hard the people around me work. There are so many things that need to be done and so much coordination it is really insightful to see how this all flows together. Although, it seems like everything is going against the goals that P1H is trying to achieve, the team comes together to pivot, and get things done. This is a testament to the hard work of those in the non profit sphere. Speaking of the word non profit, in our Fellows Leadership course Dr. Lomax talked about how the shifting of the language around the word non profit can shift the way that people view non profit work. Non profit is a deficit based language, and the history of non profits is based in this deficit language, and the way that society has institutionalized non profits is in a lesser than way. Thats why so much money has been put into non profits but there are no big changes because society is what needs to change and the way that we talk about, and view things needs to be changed as well. Dr. Lomax mentioned that a colleague of his has created the idea of shifting language to social profit which is an asset based vernacular which can illuminate how helping others and coming together can create positive social change. I also had the opportunity to attend the South Side Thrive Collaborative All Network Forum where the topic was affordable housing. I am not particularly versed in affordable housing, and felt like I learned so much. It is an ever growing issue in Columbus and I am not ignited to advocate and educate myself on affordable housing. There were a bunch of great community members and leaders speaking, which was very cool to be able to represent P1H. I left the forum with a page full of notes, and my mind spinning with so many thoughts. It was a great experience and I was so grateful to be able to attend. As always I am pondering my why, and I am critically thinking about the power and power structures within our world. These thoughts can be so big and overwhelming, but if I keep thinking and talking about it, and believe in my ability to make change, change will be made. My desire is to make things better each day and to help those around me. I hope that this will lead me to where I am meant to land.
