Catalyst: Conversations on Community, Culture, and Care
Catalyst is a podcast for people who care deeply about community, accountability, and what it actually takes to create safer, more intentional spaces.
Hosted by Niké, an inclusion consultant and educator, each episode dives into the messy, real-life work of questioning our socializations and conditioning, honoring your capacity, and leading without perfectionism or urgency.
Every other week, Niké breaks down big ideas around community care, boundaries, power, and belonging in a way that’s clear, grounded, and rooted in real-life practice.
If you're ready to move beyond good intentions and into action, this space is for you.
