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.

Walking the Talk

 
“Our leadership team was primarily people of color and we felt a lot of challenge from our younger folks who are in less positional authority saying, ‘Why aren’t you doing better?’…We were an organization that a led racial equity work outside….But internally, our folks were like ‘Y’all are not walking the talk.’” Read more…
