Sharon Miracle and Brenda Solorzano on Advancing Equity in Rural Environments
Listen in as Sharon (President and CEO, Yakima Valley Community Foundation) and Brenda (CEO Headwaters Foundation of Montana) share how they’ve worked with their boards and staff to transform their organizational cultures and center racial equity amid rural, politically conservative environments.
Along the way, Brenda shares the complexities of doing this work as a Brown woman in a conservative state, Sharon normalizes emotion and heart in the workplace, and together they emphasize that it’s not only okay to be completely human, but also necessary to move this work forward.
