CODA: The 2024 Maven Impact Report

Auteur(s): Maven Leadership Collective
  • Résumé

  • Coda signals a departure from a familiar refrain in anticipation of the conclusion.

    This feels fitting as we transition to a pivotal year filled with final movements and milestones, departing once again from the familiar. We know the early adopters will get it and embrace the work ahead with enthusiasm. We hope you are one of them. And even if you don’t totally get it, we hope that our body of work and impact are sufficient to garner your trust.

    "You must find your mixtape people.”

    Quite simply, this is some of the best advice we’ve ever gotten. The truth is that as an ideas lab, some people don’t get what we do or why. Others simply refuse to embrace it. They are perplexed by why we center queer and trans people of color in our work and why we prioritize process and culture in reimagining relationships reliant on trust. And that is ok, if not exhausting. The problem was that, as a Black-led, emerging nonprofit, we were devoting considerable energy and resources to those people—to the detriment of our voice, our ability to interrupt the existing ways we talk about power, and ultimately, our effectiveness. They were not our people then, nor are they now. You are.

  • All These Little Deaths/Eternal Reprise
    Jan 31 2025

    Maven Laurah Merisier shares the creative process behind Eternal, the Maven collaboration that weaves together themes of growth through life’s “little deaths”—the struggles and losses that shape who we are meant to become. A death doula shares lessons from her practice on moving through these “little deaths” with grace, joy, and possibility.

  • Eternal
    Jan 31 2025

    Inspired by all the many little deaths that we endure on our way to becoming who we are meant to be, poet Arsimmer McCoy penned a new commission, Lazarus, is woven together with Laurah Merisier’s haunting vocals as she sings A Place for You. This beautiful collaboration, originally conceived after Maven Camp and further developed during our visit with Orlando alumnx, follows in what has now become an annual tradition of spotlighting the Maven experience in the current cohort. Please enjoy the talents of these two Mavens from our 2024 cohort.
