Wild Woman Fundraising
Are you looking at the sector, and wondering, why do you always see people from the dominant culture in charge of the biggest nonprofits? This podcast talks about naming and re-claiming what's going on from a systems analysis. We are not experts. We are amateurs and we are learning how to talk about IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access.) How can we build more accomplices in equity + justice work based on the principles of inclusion and dignity?
