Building The Next Generation of Change Makers - Inside P3 📝🔔
Episode notes
Class is in session. 🎓
This episode, we're sitting down with Sierra Singetti Daniels, co-founder of P3 Civics, to talk about what happens when journalism and education collide and a generation of young people learn that their voice is actually a weapon for change.
We're getting into it all: how P3 started with a partnership with the NAACP of Albany, why it operates as an LLC instead of a nonprofit, the social justice mission projects happening in Albany and Schenectady, the journalism programs now reaching Utica and NYC, and how Sierra is teaching students to turn frustration into real, tangible action.
We also talk about staying grounded in heavy times, what it meant to be named a 2026 Gloria Fellow, and the advice she'd give anyone chasing a purpose that isn't fully built yet.
This is bigger than an episode. This is a blueprint. 🌱
