Civil Society – Meme Styles, President and Founder of Measure
September 3, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Data is not used effectively or collaboratively in the social justice ecosystem. When used strategically, data provides a common language upon which community members can meet and increase their knowledge about the causes and work together to create equitable change and increased awareness.
Our guest this episode will be Meme (mee-mee) Styles, is the President and Founder of the award winning nonprofit MEASURE, a public education & advocacy organization that empowers people to use data to tell their own story. Mrs. Styles created MEASURE in 2015 to build trust and measurable progress between people and institutions that serve them. MEASURE is building an ecosystem whereby Black and Brown-led nonprofits can receive data & evaluation support through MEASURE’s equity-focused tools for free. The organization is also responsible for mobilizing communities to address systemic disparities in health, economics, criminalization & education.
Mrs. Styles holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Communications, completing a Masters Of Public Administration at American Military University and received a certificate in Performance Measurement through George Washington University College of Professional Studies.
For many of our offerings this summer, we will be offering Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) pricing. We will use an honor system. We won’t require you to disclose your income or program budgets. In return, we ask that you determine the price that is truly right for you. By doing so, our classes remain available to those who could not otherwise afford them. Please consider purchasing a ticket at a stretch (but not a hardship) PWYC price.
