#35 How to build an engaged and active community for social impact online with Kiran Kaur
If you're all about actively engaging with a particular audience or community but often struggle to do this at scale, you need to listen to this episode. Kiran Kaur, founder of GirlDreamer shares how they easily fill out their social impact programmes within 24 hours using social media. You can use her insights to fill any programme, opportunity, offer you have in your social enterprise.
GirlDreamer is the manifestation of Kiran and their best friends' passion for supporting their community with their journey through life - personally and professionally.
They envisioned a space where young women of colour could feel understood and supported in their pursuits and overcome cultural and societal challenges. It's not something they could find so they created it.
They started with no budget, no networks, no business plan and no community and in four years, have built a platform of over 12,000 social media followers, supported thousands of young women of colour directly through various programmes and initiatives and earned some awards along the way including:
One of Creative England's top 50 most exciting, innovative and disruptive creative companies
Most Influential Leadership Development Enterprise UK
Kiran has just been awarded Best Digital CEO 2020
After working with me in my Sell to Corporate course, Kiran has now developed an offer helping other organisations to utilise the power of social media to build and engage their target communities and authentically lead an EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion) path within their organisation.
In this episode we discuss:
The challenges Kiran faced when she didn't pursue the path that was expected of her
Creating the space and support she was looking for but couldn't find, so those behind her didn't have to face the same barriers
The award-winning initiatives GirlDreamer has designed and led
How my Sell to Corporate course helped her identify her unique gifts that she could sell to generate additional income
How you can fill out your programmes and offers using social media
