This week’s Leadership newsletter is all about leadership through liberatory practices. First, Cyndi Suarez provides an “Introduction to Power” including a discussion of how power is enacted and key distinctions between supremacist and liberatory power. Next, Suarez reports back from this year’s Association of Black Foundation Executives conference, where the concept of liberatory leadership is taking form and transforming the sector towards a more expansive, more ambitious future for all. Suarez informs her development of this concept through her work from her book, The Power Manual, of which we feature insights in the next piece. Finally, we share our call for pitches on “Going Pro-Black,” where we invite you to write for us on the kinds of liberatory, pro-Black leadership your organization is practicing or that you wish to see in the world.
