Carla Fernandez is a social entrepreneur and cofounder of The Dinner Party, an innovative nonprofit organization on a mission to transform life after loss from an isolating experience into one marked by community support, candid conversation, and forward movement using the age old practice of breaking bread. Carla joins Cause & Purpose to share her founding story and lessons learned from a life spent pursuing positive social impact. Traditional bereavement support groups can feel sterile, awkward, and somehow impersonal. Millennials experience grief and loss differently from previous generations, and are looking elsewhere for resources to help them cope.
