Abstract
The impact of transparent leadership and a deliberate focus on the work through a community-determined lens is discussed in the Boston Collaborative for Food & Fitness (BCFF) case study. Restructuring of BCFF focused on housing the work in the community and providing leadership opportunities to community members. The birth, growth, collapse, and rebirth of BCFF, is outlined, and the reimagining of BCFF’s vision and action are described as a “healing and connection-centered approach to community resilience and systems change that centers community leadership and voice and challenges prevailing models of how change happens, particularly in communities of color.”
