"We don't want to be a fake equity organization. We believe strongly that equity matters. I'll be in some rooms where I talk about shared equity and they say. 'we don't talk about equity anymore, it tends to turn people off, to make them uncomfortable.' I feel that the highest level of learning happens during discomfort." OF COURSE you know John Holdsclaw IV (jhiv), President and CEO of Rochdale Capital, a community development loan fund dedicated to growing shared equity and cooperative ownership in under-resourced communities of color. He is also my first guest on Power Hour, a Power Station Podcast series that invites social change leaders to share what concerns and animates them, beyond their organizational roles, in the nonprofit sector and our society. In this episode, John talks about the literal removal of equity as an investment and policy imperative and its real-life consequences, including the failure of nonprofit Boards of Directors to support new leadership of color. John speaks to the trauma that Black Americans often experience in relation to financial services, a wrong that he is deeply committed to overcoming.
