Megan Williamson

Megan will create a series of short audio documentaries exploring the personal leadership development processes of eight women who act as leaders in grassroots organizing and movement building work. By investigating the ways that women, especially women from historically under-represented communities, play an active role in the intentional development of their own leadership and the leadership of those they organize, she hopes to unearth wisdom and powerful truths about the intrinsic capacity of all oppressed people to become leaders. She will create a blog to distribute this series of audio-documentaries, and partner with local organizing groups and young women’s groups to hold three community listening parties. These community-building events will allow listeners to actively reflect on their own leadership development process and engage in dialogue with other budding organizers about their own experiences.
