In this episode I spoke with Saba Ahmed, previous Chief of Staff of the Skimm and current social wellness entrepreneur. In our conversation, I got the chance to hear from someone who is right in the middle of her creative process - Saba is currently intentionally exploring the social wellness space in an effort to help people connect in person with their local communities. She also is the host of Friends of Friends, a social dance party designed for intentional connection. You’ll hear Saba share what she has learned about community architecture, how she is approaching this time in her life, and what she’s learned about herself in the process. I’m so grateful to David Nebinksi for introducing Saba and I back in the Fall! Here are some of the topics we covered in our conversation:Why do we create? Saba’s view is that we feel compelled to create something because we want to enjoy the process and see what comes out of it.How can you best support a community builder? Saba points out the value that these community builders are providing in hosting intentional events and therefore encourages us to think about the best ways to support and contribute to what they are doing.How do community builders design events where people feel comfortable going deep? Saba shares many examples of intentional design to help curate a ‘third place’.Connect with Saba on Linked In and follow @friendsoffriends.bk on instagram to stay tuned on future events.
