** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
This Leadership weekly features articles from leaders across the sector discussing the need to take organizational equity and justice work to the next level—to effect lasting, systemic change and deep reflection that goes beyond DEI training. First, three sector leaders discuss how to link organization strategy with race equity work to enact serious reflection and accountability across staff, board members, and the systems they implement. We then look at a recent conversation between leaders of color about the challenges they face when instituting radical frameworks in organizational structures. We also turn back to an important piece on the hidden cost of DEI work and how to move beyond superficial change and the expectation of extra labor for leaders of color. Lastly, Angela Romans discusses the importance of “walking the talk” when it comes to putting liberatory ideals into practice.
