🌟 Community Strategy Team Spotlight 🌟
For Charles Moody III, community means “toes in the grass.”
Charles is a Project Manager with Community Coalition for Health (C2H), and he just rolled off of the Whole Communities–Whole Health Community Strategy Team and transitioned to being a Community Liaison. With an MBA and a background in business, he brings a love of strategy and problem solving to his work. What matters most to him, though, is being close enough to listen and understand what people are actually experiencing.
💬 Why did you join WCWH?
“I wanted to be in the room, learn from other people doing great work and have a voice in conversations that affect our community.”
💬 What does community mean to you?
“Community means toes in the grass. It means going beyond simply having boots on the ground and actually taking the time to understand the people you’re serving.”
💬 What are you proud of?
“I’m proud of the relationships I’ve built. For me, it’s not always about a number or a completed project. It’s when someone knows they can call me, when a young person sees an opportunity they didn’t know existed or when someone feels like they’re actually being heard.”
💬 What have you learned or appreciated about being part of the CST and a Community Liaison?
“I’ve learned that listening can be just as powerful as doing. Sometimes people don’t need you to have all the answers. They need someone who is willing to listen, understand and help connect the dots.”
We’re grateful for the way Charles shows up in his work with the CST.
