Krista-Dawn Kimsey is incredibly grateful that her husband Joel and two teenage children put up with her hair-brained ideas on most days. Together, they live in one of the oldest homes still standing in Japantown, a historic neighbourhood of the Downtown Eastside on the unceded and occupied traditional land of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish people. She is fueled by coffee, creative pursuits, collaboration with friends, and a desire to experience more shalom in her life and her community. Along with her husband, she is an executive director of Servant Partners Canada, a non-profit that pursues holistic transformation of urban poor communities alongside their neighbours.
