Hello! I’m Dana, a youth from Trinidad and Tobago. I’m currently an Economist pursuing my PhD in Economic Development Policy. With a passion for Sustainable Development, I have been fascinated by Doughnut Economics (I remember reading the book as it came out, within hours haha). Since then, I've been looking into ways which the Caribbean Region can adopt the Model to propel its growth and development! I’m super excited to be joining this community to not only offer my ideas, but to learn and interact with the like individuals!

Delhi, India
An incoming sophomore at Ashoka University, India, pursuing B.Sc. Economics & Finance with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I’m passionate about economics and I’m currently beginning a new economics podcast at my university. Just having wrapped up my internship at Ernst & Young, I am looking to shift my focus to joining the community. I cook to destress. When my mind feels troubled or in need for something peaceful, I resort to cooking/baking. Some music to go along with it is lovely. What brings me to the DEAL community is the urge to join a large community where talented and passionate folks inspire each other and motivate the community to work more in the field.

We are at an important time in history. Now more than ever, as we approach a tipping point of a climate catastrophe, the decisions we make - as individuals and as businesses - have an impact on our planet and those who inhabit it. I relentlessly pursue a belief and vision that this can and will be reversed. To get to Net Zero we need creativity. Brands must be hyper-connected and deliver stories that are more thoughtful and constructive. Conversations about climate change and environmental wellbeing are often unnecessarily polarised and clouded by conflicting information and confusing stories. By understanding and empathising with our audiences, we can create campaigns and content that have a better chance of motivating positive behaviour change. My role as a creative strategist is to consistently communicate the purpose of an organisation to its stakeholders with a dance between strategy, brand, design and marketing. From ideation to delivery to tracking and analysis, I remodel brands to leverage skills and resources for the protection of our planet and its people.

Hello! I found my way to the DEAL community after Googling "must-read books on . My Google search was inspired by my desire to do something beyond the scope of the Holistic certification I recently earned. I desperately desire to help fix a broken system rather than help others navigate and survive one. As a critical thinker, puzzle lover, and management enthusiast—reading Doughnut made me excited about finally having a framework that made saving the world more than just a fanciful dream. Having been in the service and marketing industry for much of my professional life—I've always been conflicted by my love for wonderfully made and curated things and what it took for those things to come to be. While I am great at connecting people and dots—I am currently looking into Environmental Studies undergraduate degrees and possibly an MPA or other advanced degree that will make me even more useful to this cause. I am particularly interested in , , and . I'm itching to start, but I don't know exactly where and how. I'm hoping joining this community will help me find where I fit and can best contribute! A balance of being outside in and combing through would be ideal.

I began reading the book this week, and I am so pleased to read it. As a classically trained economics and finance major from 25 years ago, I never liked the lack of a "price" for externalities - I recognised then, as I do now the real social cost of these. So I am so happy to be a part of this community, and I want to help spread the word. I was hoping someone had taken the content and made it available on a creative commons type platform to share it, and for more ideas and communities to be created from it. And here it is! So very please!

Huseyin is a financial analyst who has more than 18 years experience in regulatory, academic and practical parts of finance. Doughnut Economics, with its charmingly simple yet profoundly transformative approach, invites us to step beyond the traditional economic thinking. It's a vision where prosperity and progress are no longer measured solely by the endless pursuit of growth, but by the delicate balance we strike between human well-being and the health of our planet. I believe Humankind should be responsible for their actions and keep Earth alive. So, I feel myself responsible to future generations and acting now in a way of expressing my interest in this topic. For Sustainable Earth and Responsible Humanity... Huseyin
