Upon completing a two-year fellowship at MIT, Malia Lazu returned to Boston to build nonprofit models for the 21st century.  With over two decades of experience establishing grass roots involvement in political advocacy and civic engagement, Malia felt the nonprofit industry is no longer creating safe spaces for humans to create change together and is in need of disruption.  This lead to the creation of Future Boston Alliance and currently Epicenter Community, organizations working to change the world by being intentional when building diverse communities and celebrating the beautiful ways we are different.

Malia and ExchangeNation:  I am interested in experiencing the rural point of view and how best to continue to expand equity for all Americans.  I think the show will be an interesting experiment on bringing rural and urban communities together to come together.
