Join me on this episode of the Culture of You with none other than Javier Sanchez. I consider him a dear friend, chosen family, co-collaborator professionally, and a co-curator artistically.
Javier is recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in developing effective strategies for youth and community engagement and mobilization. He has written two books, a children’s book for fathers and daughters entitled “Look in My Mirror” and a book designed to help students, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs add process to their passion entitled “From This Moment On." He also works behind the scenes as a technical consultant on film and TV projects. His love for stand-up comedy has given him the opportunity to perform at comedy clubs all over the United States as well as the world-famous Lincoln Theater in New York City and even Disney World! When he’s not doing the work he loves, Javier is most likely at home playing board games with his family, reading a good book, or teaching himself how to play the piano.Javier and I talk about a wide variety of things; how to measure and create impact in our work professionally and artistically, how to curate environments that provide people space in community for creativity and joy, and what it means to heal and be who you needed when you were younger to the younger people now.
Together, we are vibe and culture alchemists and this episode allows us to ideate and vision and dream about what continuing to create community and leave a legacy of impact looks like in real life. Get your favorite snacks, get in your most comfortable spot, create your favorite vibe, and listen in to our vibe session!
