First online session of Self-Care for Black Folks starts next week on Aug. 21st! Black folks in leadership at all levels, sign up now: https://lnkd.in/gAy5Ta7F Self-care is an essential part of social justice work, and in the words of Audre Lorde, it is an act of self-preservation and political warfare—particularly for Black folks. Navigating and dismantling white supremacy and anti-Blackness at the interpersonal, organizational, and structural levels requires rigorous joy, replenishment, connection, and community building. With these priorities in mind, we are overjoyed to offer a self-care series for Black folks in leadership at every level who are looking to... + build knowledge, practices, and skills around self-care + create a culture of care at their organizations + develop a practice of community care in service of our collective liberation Make the most of your learning by registering for all events, OR only register for the session(s) that align with your time, energy, and interest! The next session starts on Aug. 21st and concludes with the panel on October 3rd. Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/gAy5Ta7F

Does Your Village Have Capacity? As Black women in leadership, we often hear the saying, “It takes a village.” But have you ever paused to ask yourself if your village has the emotional, mental, and spiritual capacity to truly guide you? The truth is, our village—our family, friends, and immediate community—often means well. They love us, want the best for us, and try to offer advice that they believe will help us navigate the complexities of life and leadership. I share a personal story in my blog https://hubs.ly/Q02LRrNJ0 and https://hubs.ly/Q02LRpnp0 in a video about the importance of knowing and respecting your villages capacity.

This *free* Devex Leader roundtable on Black Leadership in Global Development is bound to be a powerful and insightful conversation. Registration information is below. I hope to see you there!

At times, it feels like there’s an invisible spotlight—constantly waiting, scrutinizing, and anticipating mistakes. Whether it’s from peers, staff, or even the broader community, there’s often a sense that my every move is being watched more closely, judged more harshly, and at times, unfairly. There’s pressure to succeed, not just for myself, but to defy the unspoken expectations that come with being one of the few Black leaders in this space. The gaze is constant, and the margin for error feels smaller. Despite that, I continue to press forward. I lead with integrity and remain committed to the work of uplifting communities, advocating for justice, and fostering real change. Because at the end of the day, my purpose is greater than the pressure. To my fellow leaders of color, I see you. We carry burdens that many will never understand, but we are here for a reason. Keep pushing, keep growing, and know that your impact reaches further than you may ever realize. #BlackLeadership #NonprofitLife #Resilience #EquityInLeadership #StayTheCourse

Today's Juneteenth, and for the last several months I've been talking to friends and colleagues who're all mad, scared and exasperated with the state of funding and how it's impacting Black leadership and Black-led organizations. We're disappearing at a rapid, alarming rate now that the goodwill and urgency of 2020 has regressed to familiar levels. I wrote about it more in the latest Catalyst:Ed newsletter, and in our blog which I'm linking here. Share any thoughts and look out for more from us soon. https://lnkd.in/euUKzVZ4
