STELLA CONSTANCE

Stella Constance is a Canadian, whose work includes community / human resources development to multimedia writing and production. Constance’s research is focussed on creating healthier, sustainable living. Her charitable works include assisting Jabes Community School1,2 in Nairobi, Kenya, by creating a successful agricultural program, with some additional community support for Jabes Community School and nearby affiliated communities.

Focussing upon ethics and values that help strengthen individuals, families, and communities, Constance's writings include a family screenplay on the importance of civic involvement for community safety in her short film, “City Boys Backcountry Adventures”3. A review of the film was published in The Salt Lake Tribune, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Titled, "An Experience Worth Bringing Back in Higher Volume: FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT,"4 it further outlines the value of positive family entertainment at home and its influence on the community.

Constance has written articles for Opal Publishing’s Point of View Magazine (E-Magazine), based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, exploring ways to strengthen the human condition. Her published writings delve into the mysteries of the human mind and its perceived social constructions.5

Additionally, she wrote a romantic jazz song, “Another Lazy Summer”, which has aired on many large music internet distribution sites. The content of the song extends to a personal level for the audience, sharing ideas of what helps create long-term, healthier relationships.6  Her continued health research conveyed through her multimedia projects are reaching out to many people around the world ranging from the Internet, community engagements, and by word of mouth.

Constance shared some of the latest findings on violence research, through her “Fractals of Violence, An Overview: Its Origins and Prevention” presentation7 at the 2020 Vision for Humanity Symposium: Human Security Worldwide 2017, co-chaired by Dr. Arthur Clark8 and Mr. Cesar Jaramillo9 of Project Ploughshares.10,11,12

She continues to work to advise and help implement ways of running sustainable community-based projects with the locals in the area. One of her longer term projects has been assisting the urban poor of the Jabes Community and surrounding areas of Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. There, she has initiated poultry and green house urban farming projects to create more fiscal independence and to assist with the welfare of the children and surrounding communities of the Jabes Community Orphanage School. She has also acted as a resource person for community members, ranging from supplementing the teaching of school subjects, to advising and assisting on several community health and safety matters.1,2

Constance hopes that with more people globally providing prosocial platforms and media to assist in constructing more positive societal interactions, it is anticipated that there would be more healthier social and personal outcomes for individuals, and the creation of a more stable and functional global society.
