Emma Olson aims to be a steward for her community
April’s installment of our
Donor Stories project<[link removed]> shines a spotlight on Emma Olson – dedicated donor organizer and Headwaters Development Committee member.
In her story, Emma shares how her experience in the Giving Project deepened her connection to her racial identity and her grounding in movement work. She also shares how she works in her sphere of influence to uproot white supremacy culture as a mixed-race person in the public sector.
“The first step to eliminating white supremacy culture is unmasking it, especially in ourselves. I aim to be a champion in fostering creativity and uncovering white supremacy culture in my work. At the center of that is creating opportunities to build genuine connections and trust and making space for creativity to flourish.”
We invite you to get to know Emma and learn about her journey with Headwaters by
