** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

In today’s Race + Power newsletter, the celebration of Black History Month continues. First, we remember the father of Black History Month, Carter G. Woodson. Next, to strive for the future we want, Black nonprofit leaders must lean into the practice of Black future thinking and action, creating new paradigms rather than focusing on old problems. Then, how hip hop’s practice of sankofa is transforming philanthropy and paving the way for future innovation. Finally, Building A Pro-Black World: Moving Beyond DE&I Work and Creating Spaces for Black People to Thrive has been named as Porchlight Book Company’s Best Business Books of 2023 in the category of Big Ideas and New Perspectives!
