This week’s Race + Power newsletter features the next set of excerpts from a roundtable hosted by Edge Leadership on the state of race and power today. The first explores the high risk involved in advancing racial justice and how safety can be built by connecting the many, here at home and globally. The second looks at how centering the voice of people of color can compete with the need to examine whiteness, which also shows up in people of color in a way that limits autonomy. Kim Janey’s video as the first Black woman mayor of Boston (where NPQ is headquartered) is powerful in its authenticity and reframe of the crossover narrative. Janey strongly and unabashedly situates herself with the many—in this case, the Black community and a long lineage of Black women leaders. Finally, the Tiny Spark podcast provides a glimpse into the daily life of climate activists in Africa, which shows how difficult it is to do climate work when the many cannot meet their daily needs.
