Mentorship and Collaboration
We are a society, a world, living through a radical period of change.
Uncertainty and possibility surround us. TaLedi's Mentorship and Collaboration stream works with individuals, groups, communities, companies, and government agencies to assist in the navigation from present to preferred place.
Our Work
Three bodies of work.
One purpose.
Social (in)Justice Productions
Bearing witness, building narrative.
Our Social (in)Justice Production project bears witness through print, podcasts, reels, films, and stage to lived experience stories often excluded from institutional reporting, mainstream media, and elementary curricula.
Awareness reels, short films, staged productions, and community initiatives - 2003 to ongoing.
Maddie and Wynn
Fiction storytelling.
The Adventures of Maddie Leon, written for middle readers and their champions, shares cross-cultural adventure themes that include identity and belonging, resilience and self-discovery, growth and new beginnings. The fiction series is complemented by non-fiction resources for classroom or independent study focused on culture, careers, and finding your way.
Classroom presentations, resources, and Maddie-and-Wynn merchandise - by conversation.
Building Capacity
Building capacity where it lasts.
Mentoring entrepreneurs and advising leaders in the arts, social services, community development, and mental-health communities through TaLedi Enterprise Development Inc. and Catalyste+ (formerly the Canadian Executive Services Organization, CESO) since 2009.
Mentoring through Catalyste+ since 2009 - turning experience into durable local capacity.
How we work
Bear witness
We listen first and document the lived experiences that institutional reporting leaves out.
Mentor and plan
We pair entrepreneurs and organizations with hands-on mentors and a working business plan.
Build durable capacity
We hand off governance, tools, and local skills that keep the work going after we step back.
