Using Data as a Flashlight and NOT a Weapon

<p>This week, we sit down with Kristin Kappleman and Kevin Meagher, both Data Managers for backbone partnerships. This episode will give you insight into the intentionality required to share data effectively with others. At Building Our Future, we strive to use data as a flashlight and not a weapon. Data isn't just numbers; it's any information gathered. It's powerful to help us understand what’s changed over time and in other communities, and it can be used to support policy change, especially when the community shares their lived experiences to help bring the data to life. We invite you to challenge yourselves by using and viewing data from an asset-based lens.</p> <p>Explore Kenosha County's Dashboard here: https://www.buildingourfuturekc.org/county-overview.html</p> <p><br></p>
