** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
This week’s Leadership newsletter explores why creativity is critical to social change. While nonprofits are often pivoting to address an increasing number of social challenges, what we need now is space to reimagine alternatives that build toward a living future. We review how Black people have maintained a connection to creativity in order to survive and thrive in a racist world. We learn about the intimate connection of self and community in developing creative, social change. We take a look at how some innovative nonprofits and funders are resourcing creativity. Finally, we listen to an exploration of the role of vulnerability in innovation.
