Impact Blog is written by Tessa Okafor, a Melbourne-based journalist covering the intersection of business and social good in Australia. For the past decade, she's reported on ESG reporting, impact investing, nonprofit technology, and the messy reality of trying to do well by doing good.

Before starting Impact Blog, Tessa spent six years at a national broadsheet covering corporate responsibility and the not-for-profit sector. She's also worked with social enterprises across Victoria and NSW, advising on communications strategy and impact measurement. She holds a Master of International Development from the University of Melbourne.

This site exists because the social impact space in Australia deserves better coverage. Too much of what passes for ESG commentary is either breathless corporate PR or vague idealism. Tessa writes about what's actually working, what's failing, and what needs to change -- with clear evidence and honest analysis.

Expect practical takes on sustainability strategy, nonprofit operations, social enterprise models, community development, and the growing role of AI and technology in the impact sector. No jargon-heavy reports. No greenwashing apologetics. Just useful analysis for people trying to make a real difference.

If you work in impact investing, run a social enterprise, manage ESG at a listed company, or lead a nonprofit -- this is your corner of the internet.
