CURATING POSITIVE OUTCOMES
Founded in 2017, KonsiderDis has played a crucial role in promoting creative community engagement through initiatives in the Arts, Humanities, and Park-Based Health. By partnering with a variety of community organizations, we have positively influenced the lives of over 3,000 individuals from diverse age groups and backgrounds.
Our founder, a lifelong resident of DC, entrepreneur, and author with strong ties to Ward 8, brings extensive case management experience from various DC agencies and nonprofit organizations. With more than a decade of experience in media, she has hosted and produced radio shows across FM, AM, and Telecast platforms in the DMV area. Transitioning into facilitation, she now imparts her knowledge in Radio Production, On-Air Talent, Audacity, and other related skills.
Our creative strategies help cultivate a dynamic cultural landscape, effectively responding to the evolving needs of the community while maintaining a solid foundation of activities. These include classes, camps, performances, residencies, outreach programs, and workshops designed to encourage intergenerational dialogue.
Additionally, KonsiderDis fosters lasting partnerships with numerous community-based organizations, enhancing community engagement and cultural experiences in Wards 5, 7, and 8. Through these collaborations, we have empowered thousands of residents and families to take advantage of parks for music, play, education, and holistic health, encompassing mental, physical, environmental, civic, and nutritional aspects throughout the DMV region.
