An Interview with Amanda Misiko Andere, Funders Together to End Homelessness

Can you share an experience in the workplace where you have had to reclaim your time? What was the context? How did you navigate it? What was the outcome?

It’s not just reclaiming my time but that of leaders and people of color who are often talked about yet not in dialogue with. A big part of my journey the last two years has been to just say the thing. As leaders of color we might have side conversations, but I now say no more white panels; no conversations about us without us.
