Can we talk about...? A podcast on leading for racial equity in philanthropy
Can we talk about…? is a podcast that invites philanthropic leaders into candid conversations with their peers to normalize the messiness of leading for racial equity and reflect on what it takes to create lasting transformation.
In Season 4, Mares Asfaha guides us through the arc of equity-centered governance, one topic at a time, from fiduciary duty and board recruitment through decision-making and accountability.
This podcast is brought to you by Philanthropy Northwest.
