Episode Synopsis "Black Leadership: Past, Present, & Future | NC #5"

Despite the fact that Detroit is one of the Blackest cities in the US, many of the leaders in its nonprofit and foundation space are white. Can the work really be done adequately when it’s led by people who don't look like or share the same lived experience as the people they’re here to serve? This month on Natural Collisions, we explore Black leadership among Southeast Michigan’s nonprofits and foundations, reflecting on the past, grounding ourselves in the present, and dreaming for the future. Guests: Yodit Mesfin-Johnson is the President and CEO of Nonprofit Enterprise at Work (NEW). Nathaniel Wallace is the director of the Knight Foundation in Detroit.
