Founder, C-Suite leader known for developing inclusive cultures focused on high performance for companies and philanthropies seeking to drive greater impact in the world
Must read report and gratitude to Giving Gap for setting the record straight with data and insights to draw attention to the critical role and high performance of nonprofits founded by Black leaders. We need more large scale philanthropy, like Fidelity Charitable Catalyst Fund, addressing the funding disparities for communities of color and their nonprofits. "Despite their unwavering commitment to addressing our country's greatest social challenges, Black leaders and their organizations are forced to navigate a funding ecosystem that unfairly advantages their white counterparts and restricts their own capacity for growth."

I'm over the moon to announce that Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs ("WLC") has received a $900,000 gift from MacKenzie Scott! This is the single largest donation in WLC’s 55-year-old history. Situated in the nation’s capital, WLC is on the cutting edge of #civilrights battles that affect communities across the country. Our key focus areas include #educationequity, #disabilityjustice, #fairhousing, #workersrights, #immigrantrights and criminal legal system reform. We celebrate MacKenzie Scott’s recognition of #civilrights litigation as an essential tool in the fight for #racialequity. With this transformational gift, we will deepen our partnerships with low-income communities of color to advance #racialjustice. Together, we will strive to dismantle systems of racial oppression and to pursue lasting change in the Washington, DC region and the nation. The gift coincides with the launch of our #strategicplanning process. WLC will leverage this gift to raise another $1 million dollars in 2024 to: * Make fair housing a reality by preserving affordable housing, fighting for safe habitable housing, and opening doors to housing for returning citizens * Promote economic justice by fighting for education equity for students with disabilities, winning back stolen wages for workers subjected to wage theft, protecting workers subjected to harassment or discrimination * Reform our criminal legal system by ending police brutality, halting abusive prison practices, promoting decarceration, and supporting reentry for returning citizens Whether we’re running #workersrights clinics or representing prisoners subjected to abuse or suing white supremacists for attacking a Black church – the WLC uses every tool in the toolbox to eradicate systemic racial oppression. Our mission is to create a more just, inclusive, and equitable society. And our mission has never felt more urgent – as we gear up for a monumental election year in 2024, for Washington, DC, and the nation.
Exciting News! The Washington Lawyers’ Committee receives a historic $900K gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott through Yield Giving. This monumental donation marks a new chapter in our 55-year history, empowering us to deepen our racial justice work across Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. Let's make lasting change together!

Empowering students to speak up about mental health challenges is a pivotal step in creating a supportive and safe community. Specifically providing young people with the resources to recognize warning signs and engage with trusted adults is a catalyst for positive change. This initiative resonates deeply with my belief in nurturing environments where every voice is heard and valued. When we equip students to identify signs of depression, suicide, grief, abuse, or bullying, we're not just giving them knowledge – we're giving them agency. They become instrumental in supporting one another, saving lives in the process. Enabling these conversations creates a culture where mental health is not stigmatized but rather openly addressed and supported. It's heartening to witness initiatives like these fostering a safe space for our community to share their struggles and seek help without fear or hesitation. When we equip young people with the necessary tools, we're not only shaping a more resilient generation but also building a community that prioritizes mental well-being. Let's continue to champion these efforts and provide unwavering support to our youth in their journey towards mental wellness. #CAREENOUGH#SPEAKUPSTANDUPSAVEALIFE#MentalWellness#Saveouryouth
