904ward

904WARD creates racial healing and equity through deep conversations and learning, trusting relationships, and collective action.

Problem

A global pandemic shuts down a local non-profit with the mission to create racial healing and equity through deep conversations and learning, trusting relationships, and collective action in the suburbs of Jacksonville, Fl.  The non-profit had to shut down  planned events due to COVID-19.  It’s also having a difficult time printing their main event tool RACE CARDS.  A deck of conversation starters which assist with honest dialogue at their events.

Solution

When one of your board members works for a software company there is only one solution.  You host a HACKATHON.  Multiple teams organized  and worked in their spare time to brainstorm solutions.  I was a member of the CARDS FOR HUMANITY team.  Our solution, create a digital version of the cards and build a mobile app.
