We are excited to announce the next Leaders of Color Collective session! The Leaders of Color Collective is a program designed specifically for and by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) working in the social impact sector.
This Session Topic: Transforming Trauma into Triumph. How Nonprofit Leaders of Color Build Empowering Organizations.
In the world of nonprofits, leaders of color often emerge from their own experiences of adversity, using their personal journeys and challenges as a catalyst for change. This topic explores how these leaders harness their trauma to create impactful organizations that address systemic issues. By channeling their resilience and understanding of marginalized communities, they are uniquely positioned to build organizations that foster empowerment, inclusivity, and social justice. Through their work, they not only transform their own narratives but also inspire others to overcome barriers and contribute to meaningful societal progress. Join us via Zoom on November 14th from 10 am to 12 pm for this impactful discussion led by Dr. Elle Harris, Executive Director at the W Agency.
American Sign Language interpreters or other communication access accommodations are available upon request. Please submit any accommodation requests to Denisha Phipps at dphipps@thecne.org.
