I want to be real about why Community ICT exists.
Years ago, I tried to create something like this.A space where practitioners and community members could come together, collaborate, and actually support one another.
And the truth is⦠it didnāt work.
Part of that was because the community wasnāt ready.But if Iām being honest, I wasnāt ready either.
The last few years have been a deep journey of growth for me. Iāve gone through highs and lows, moments of incredible support and moments where I was criticized, misunderstood, and knocked down. Iāve experienced what it feels like to be lifted up by community, and what it feels like to be pushed out of it.
Both of those experiences taught me something important.
They taught me what real community actually requires.
It requires growth.It requires honesty.It requires people who are willing to show up as humans instead of hiding behind walls.
Over the past few years many of us have been doing our work on our own. Building our practices, healing our wounds, learning lessons, growing in ways we couldnāt have before.
That time mattered.
Because before you can build a healthy community, you have to build yourself first.
But there comes a moment when the next step is no longer doing everything alone.The next step is coming back together and building something bigger than any one person.
That is what Community ICT is about.
This isnāt about returning to me.This is about returning to community.
If there has been distance, tension, or things left unsaid between people over the years, maybe this is the time to approach those things differently. Not with blame, but with maturity. Not with division, but with conversation.
Because real community doesnāt mean we always agree.It means we learn how to move through differences and create harmony from them.
Many of us have grown.Many of us have changed.Many of us have spent years building our own foundations.
Now imagine what could happen if we brought those foundations together.
A stronger community.A larger field of support.A space where people can grow, collaborate, and lift each other up instead of standing apart.
That is the vision behind Community ICT.
If you feel called to be part of building something healthier, stronger, and more connected for our communityā¦
