Faith designed and built new training materials, engagement processes and frameworks for the 2020 effort, bringing the Count the earliest and most accurate count to date.

Faith worked with a Cleveland based team to imagine possible futures for a social justice nonprofit on the cusp of major changes. We succeeded in giving the client real options for her next move.
