Race Forward is excited to announce Faron McLurkin
[link removed]
is joining the organization as our new Senior Vice President of
Strategic Partnerships. Faron brings more than 20 years of experience in
philanthropy, grassroots community organizing, political strategy,
organizational leadership, and racial justice advocacy to this role.
"I'm proud to be joining Race Forward and am excited about working
closely with the staff and board to expand partnerships that advance
Race Forward's work of institutionalizing racial justice," said Faron.
"Our country is at a crucial crossroads wherein we will either boldly
step into a more inclusive multiracial democracy or regress to an
outdated exclusionary system. By merging what is happening in the
streets, in the government, and in boardrooms, Race Forward is
positioned to institutionalize power; taking the enthusiasm the country
has for racial justice and turning it into real lasting change."

" The Dropout on Hulu
[link removed]
was a fascinating watch –– a riveting retelling of the Elizabeth Holmes/
Sunny Balwani/ Theranos saga about the pitfalls in healthcare and tech
innovation efforts. The show was inspired by the podcast from ABC Audio
[link removed]
and is a great example of how storytelling/ reporting can impact the
mainstream."
