After 7.5 years as an innovation and concept designer, Mérida Miller decided to leave the corporate world to follow her passion: learning and working hands-on with people to create a ripple effect impact. Driven by human-centric design and a love for empowering solutions Project Fearless was born. A non-for-profit organization that offers after school courses for girls and genderfluid youth between the ages 9 and 14 to get hands-on, break stereotypes and find their voice. To be part of an organization that inspires bravery and leadership and focuses on shaping and amplifying a new generation. Since it founding in 2019, Project Fearless has welcomed over 895 kids across 72 one-of-a-kind programs.  In this episode we speak about Project Fearless, the anti-perfectionist reminder, artivism. We learn about the draft mode journey, create space for Mérida to relive a memory that impacted her life. But above all we share joy and life together.  Host: Stella Saliari    At Salt the Podcast   my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms. It is a commitment. #problemsolver #activism #afterschoolprograms #skateboarding #thenetherlands #amsterdam #snowboarding #mentorship #buildmakebe #hypegirl #girls #founderstories #nonprofit #girlsgarage #mentalhealth #projectfearless #memories #anonymousnotes #antiperfectionism #saltthepodcast #teenagers #nonbinary #youth #doer #nonprofitleadership #artivism #nieuwwest #depijp Follow Salt @salt_thepodcast Subscribe to Salt The Podcast on Soundwise
