I feel so fortunate to speak with and interview so many people in this world doing good. My two guests this week are no exception! These two women are helping to create space for powerful visual storytelling by social impact companies at the third annual Reel Impact Film Festival (RIFF) in San Francisco on December 6th!Many of our regular listeners will recognize one of our guests, Angelina Mertens. I interviewed her last season as a sustainable bridge builder between private, public and social sectors of companies doing good in this world. We briefly touched on the Reel Impact Film festival on that show, so today our goal is to dedicate this show to it! Angie is the co-founder of the Reel Impact Film Festival along with Paula Saslow. Angie is also the Program Director of One World Training, a for-profit public benefit corporation based in Palo Alto CA that provides training and investment capital to social impact companies in the San Francisco Bay area.      Our second guest is Katie Carey Nivard of Mama Hope, the co-host of the Reel Impact Film Festival. Katie is the Director of Global Partnerships at Mama Hope and is also co-founder of Glorious, a holistic community development organization that invests in the vision of strong women leaders to build sustainable communities.       About RIFF:   How do social impact organizations (both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations) strategically use short videos and storytelling to share their impact? We’ll explore how film and short videos are used by mission-driven organizations to spread positive messages, drive change, and achieve strategic goals.       Need some inspiration in your life? Come out to meet some amazing people and get inspired! These social impact entrepreneurs are taking on some of the world's biggest problems in the most innovative ways.       For more information please visit the website: Reel Impact Film Festival.       Past RIFF video: https://vimeo.com/197659803/8321df2901       AGENDA   3:30 PM - Green Carpet Networking Reception   4:00 PM - Welcome by ONE WORLD &amp; Mama Hope   4:15 PM - Social Impact Video Storytelling opening interviews with   Holly Gordon, Chief Impact Officer, Participant Media Sian-Pierre Regis, Filmmaker, Duty Free Film   Moderated by Scott Saslow, CEO &amp; Founder, ONE WORLD   5:00 PM - RIFF finalists video screening round I   5:30 PM - Screening Round Debrief Spotlight   Natasha Deganello Giraudi, Creative Director &amp; Founder, Micro - Documentaries Niema Jordan, Producer and Writer, iTVS   Moderator: Angie Mertens, Program Director &amp; RIFF Co-Founder, ONE WORLD   6:00 PM - Break   6:30 PM - RIFF finalists video screening round II   7:15 PM - Three workshops   Workshop 1: Stop the Pity, Unlock the Potential - A movement to shift the narrative: How can authentic, community-driven storytelling build a media movement?

Angelina Mertens (One World) and Katie Carey Nivard (Mama Hope)

Angelina Mertens is referred to as a “Sustainable Bridge Builder!” She helps bridge the private, public and social sectors with the work she is doing. She also creates the bridge between California and Namibia for the Cheetah Conservation Fund.  I first met Angie through volunteering at the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia where I worked briefly with her sister Tess. As I got to know Angie over the past year, I found that she is not only spearheading the Northern California CCF Chapter and overseeing their donor relations, volunteers and events; Angie is the Program Director of ONE WORLD Training and Investments (ONE WORLD). ONE WORLD is a for-profit public benefit corporation that provides training and investment capital to social impact companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. She also is the co-founder of the Real Impact Film Festival (RIFF) with Paula Saslow. ONE WORLD and RIFF are both based in Palo Alto, CA. In this podcast Angie shares her experiences as how she became a bridge builder for these three organizations. Her skills and passion help create a space for people to express their passion, share their stories and grow.
