I believe Black and Indigenous leaders have many of the answers for what it’ll take to shift our movements for the better.

I might love the people I work with, and I might be perfectly aligned with the mission and vision of the organization. But that does not mean that work is a place where I should expect to find a home and in my colleagues, a family.

And the truth is, working in the nonprofit world has not been alright for some time, especially for staff who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Add to that the compounding brought on by the pandemic and many of us now have an elevated consciousness that has changed what we are willing to do and what we expect for it.
