I’m Being Earthlings’ founder and CEO.
As an Earthling myself, I care about this planet and all life on it.
I was a Cultural Anthropology student at Rutgers University, New Brunswick when I visited the countryside outside Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The people I saw living amongst the the grassy green landscapes looked like they could be my family. While I saw a beauty that inspired me and made me feel at peace, I also saw unjustifiable poverty. That was when I made a promise to myself to dedicate my life to service.
I have since helped drive the missions of businesses and nonprofits internationally. Through Being Earthlings I continue to support small organizations, individuals, and large corporations through copy writing, grant writing, consulting on Inclusive Systems Design, and supporting on an array of diverse projects.
I hold a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) from Cornell University and a BA in Cultural Anthropology from Rutgers University. I am a certified Systems Thinking Trainer, hold a certificate in Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion for Organizational Success from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and am a Certified Yoga Instructor. I sit on the Board of Directors for CISV USA and for Middleton-Cooke Farms. Learn more about my work through my CV or my LinkedIn page.
A bit of a Digital Nomad, I’ve lived in Mexico for over three years, currently based in Oaxaca, Mexico.
I look forward to meeting you and serving your valuable mission.
With light,
Jamila E. Daniel
