Findlay House Global

Happy Birthday, Legend!

Today, we celebrate the Honorable Bob Marley. Bob Marley was not only a musical legend, he was as a global voice for people whose stories were too often overlooked.

Marley used his art to "critique the ‘destructive social forces’ of the modern world’ [and communicate] to those rendered powerless by systems in the Global North and encouraging them to 'challenge existing power relations' (Findlay, 2020)." His music became a channel for awareness, unity, and collective action. Marley inspired movements from Kingston to Australia, Zimbabwe, and beyond.

At Findlay House Global, we see Marley’s legacy as a reflection of what it means to re-power communities: creating space for people to understand their own power, tell their own stories, and lead their own change.

This Black History Month, we honor his spirit — one that reminds us that change begins when people are heard, seen, and connected.

Bob Marley - Legend and Development Icon — Findlay House Global: People-Centered Development Happy Birthday Legend!

Today, on what would have been his 97th birthday, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a visionary who understood that sustainable change begins not only with protest, but with the transformation of hearts, systems, and norms.

Dr. King modeled what it means to reframe what's possible, challenge unjust power structures, and move people toward collective action rooted in love. He not only held "America" accountable by pointing out her hypocrisy, he also dared her to live out her deepest values in a truly equitable way.

Dr. King's work reflects what we now understand as social and behavior change: shifting narratives, reshaping norms, and centering internal motivations. Ultimately, inviting a nation to create space for deeper connection and transformation.

At FHG, we see his legacy as a living case study...proof that LOVE Is An Effective Strategy, not just a feeling. Proof that when people are re-powered to act with courage and compassion, hearts and entire systems can shift.

🕊️ We move forward in his spirit, continuing to build people-centered change rooted in dignity, self-determination, and love.

Social and Behavior Change (SBC) is a people-centered approach that goes beyond messaging. SBC prioritizes understanding why people act, NOT telling them what to do.

At FHG, we use SBC to inform our work, which includes everything from youth mental health to civic leadership. It's one of the ways we ground our work in each community's unique context, culture, and lived experience.

Curious about embedding SBC into your strategies? Let's talk.
