Dayna Cunningham Interview

“You cannot separate equity and efficiency if you’re talking about sustainability… The starting point, to my mind, is education and a cultural and spiritual shift to understanding that we are in this together.”

Dayna L. Cunningham is Executive Director of the Community Innovators Lab at MIT. Cunningham directed the ELIAS Project, was an Associate Director at the Rockefeller Foundation, worked as a voting rights lawyer with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Cunningham is a graduate of the Sloan Fellows MBA program of the MIT Sloan School of Management.

In her interview, Dayna argues that you cannot separate equity and efficiency if you’re talking about sustainability. Dayna concludes that the leverage point for change and addressing the challenge of sustainability and poverty is the same: you have to start with people, and so you have to look at education.
