🎤 Introducing our August speaker: Victoria Mitchell

Most of us want to give back – but somewhere between caring and doing, most of us get stuck. Victoria Mitchell (Victoria Mitchell ) has lived through those hang-ups herself, and now helps others move from good intentions to action – no matter what issue you care about. As Chief Operating Officer of GoodParty.org, she’s helped build a movement of 13,000+ independents winning elections in all 50 states, after previously directing city planning and community development for Burning Man. Whether you’re a veteran of giving back or curious about taking your first step, come to be inspired that community matters and that our problems are solvable.

Our theme for August is NAKHLAH. It was chosen by our Khobar chapter in Saudi Arabia and illustrated by Rahaf Al-Badri.

Nakhlah نخلة (pronounced NAKH·lah) is an Arabic word meaning “palm.”

When a storm hits, palm trees bend with the wind while other trees break and fall.

So, in times of adversity, look to the palm for inspiration to sustain your creative practice. The spongy fibers of its trunk are not rigid; they flex instead of snapping. The palm also depends on its network of roots spread wide under the ground; just as we all need a network of people supporting us as we grow.

Our Khobar chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:

“This theme is a tribute to resilience, generosity, and rooted creativity — symbolized by one of the most iconic trees in Arab culture. The palm thrives in tough conditions — just like creativity under pressure. The date palm is deeply woven into Saudi identity, found on the national emblem and in everyday life — from food to folklore.”

Watch this video from our Khobar chapter for more on what NAKHLAH means to them.

Because flexibility and resilience gives you the strength to bring more beauty into the world.
