Donna Joyette

Donna has over 30 years' experience working with people impacted by poverty, violence, and difference in Canada, the U.S, and the Caribbean. Her insights on community engagement owe much to memorable encounters with people who graciously shared their experiences, aspirations and frustrations as they struggled to create better lives for their families and communities. Her most profound learning has come from those relegated to positions furthest from society's axis of power. Donna still strives to approach her work from a place of humility, remembering however, " If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito."
