Who are you?

My name is Theodora Lamb I manage The Big Wild, an online community dedicated to protecting half of Canada’s Wild Spaces. Space is a good thing. Especially when it’s wild. I also work with Children’s Hospital working with them to develop their social media presence online.

What do you do for fun?

Anything that involves my friends and food.

What’s your favourite community and why?

When friends and family meet and merge into a personal, micro-community, you get a clan. That’s why I think we’re here on this planet: to form clans, take care of each other, learn from one and other, and become better human beings.

What is your superpower?

My ability to recognize when something important is happening immediately and act or speak with clarity. You know how sometimes a person will look back on a situation or event and think “Wow, that’s when my life changed” or “If I had only known, I would have done this or said that.” That doesn’t happen to me. I know when something big is going down before it hits the floor. Change is a good thing – sometimes it just takes a little while to realize it.

How does your power help you build community?

Anticipating a problem or an epiphany means I can help the people around me transition with ease and confidence. A confident and relaxed community allows the movers and the shakers (like my fellow contributors) to come in and get things done for the better!

My Three Favourite Things About Theodora Lamb Are…

1. Unbridled positivity and fiery drama. Theo’s the type of person who lights up a room when she’s happy. Her mood is infectious and her enthusiasm – boundless.

2. Her chameleon nature. Like the performing arts? So does Theo. Think cooking is really fun? Theo does too and she’d love to help you whip up a great meal and has some groovy tips to make the duck you’re cooking caramelize just right. Think redheads are interesting? Check out gingerailing.com and join her passion. Do you like putting up drywall? Pretty sure Theo will find something about that particular activity that’ll engage the two of you. The greatest thing of all is you have a companion who is game for pretty much anything.

3. Creativity. Theo has more creativity in her tiny little redheaded pinky than I have in my entire Germano-Canadian body. She oozes it. You see it in her presence when acting in one act plays or in her ability to pull together the revolutionary professional story and turn it into the ultimate resume/cover letter/portfolio. You see it in her work online or in her drawings on paper. It’s everywhere, surrounding her like dark energy theoretically surrounds us all. And it’s awesome.
