In this week’s Race + Power newsletter, we’re kicking off the New Year by looking back at some conversations with leaders across sectors who aim to address issues of equity. First, Darren Isom, a partner in The Bridgespan Group’s San Francisco office and host of the podcast Dreaming In Color, and antiracist philanthropic leader F. Javier Torres-Campos discuss how to bridge and cultivate the world we want. Next, Dr. Akilah Watkins outlines her vision for helping to boost a new generation of nonprofit CEOs of color. Then, author and professor Alan Dettlaff talks about his new book, Confronting the Racist Legacy of the American Child Welfare System, the US child welfare system, and a vision for a system that protects children without breaking apart families. Finally, Dr. Elizabeth Cherot discusses the growing problem of maternity care deserts.
