** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
This week’s Leadership newsletter looks at the role of businesses in enacting social change. From the pages of our latest magazine, Darnell Adams brings to light the past, present, and future of Black food co-ops that are meeting our moment through community and generational wisdom. Next, we explore the world of social enterprises—businesses that claim to do social good while turning a profit—and how research can determine whether their claims are legitimate or hollow. Our third feature examines the current rise in worker cooperatives and why shared ownership is the structure for a better, more sustainable future. Our final piece looks at why racial justice cannot be achieved by expanding inherently exploitative systems to be more inclusive.
