In order to mobilize in this direction, it is necessary to think differently about the future, visualize it, and put it these ideas into action. As a result of COVID-19, we see the possibilities of large shifts in grantmaking practice and the way we lead and uphold philanthropic institutions. Join us for two podcasts as we hear from Walidah Imarisha, writer, educator, poet; Lisa Yancey, entrepreneurial strategist and president, Yancey Consulting; Denise Brown, executive director, Leeway Foundation, and A. Sparks, executive director, The Masto Foundation, on how they are rethinking power, centering communities, and putting theory into practice.
