Description
“Impact investing” capital continues to flow to traditional and familiar networks. To change, we must take time to understand the narratives that continue to shape decision-making.
Using Catherine Bracy’s World Eaters, Yuval Noah Harari’s Nexus, and frameworks from Decolonizing Wealth, this interactive session will provide a space to examine how deeply embedded narratives influence capital allocation.
Using real-world scenarios, surfacing inherited assumptions, and co-creating new approaches to deploying capital, attendees will leave with practical tools to shift investment conversations, identify overlooked opportunities, and align capital with long-term resilience and systemic change.
