At Philanthropy Northwest, the values of place and joy are at the heart of our mission. My family’s history in the Northwest—from my Japanese grandfather’s immigration to first Alaska and then Seattle over a century ago to my great-grandmother’s work in the strawberry fields of Vashon Island—shapes my perspective on these values. In my recent blog, I delve into how we at Philanthropy Northwest embody these principles and share personal experiences that highlight their significance.

When did you feel like you belonged in the environmental movement? 🌿💚 At our 10th Anniversary Celebration, we asked Ki'Ana Speights, M.A. of American Public Health Association and Hanna Lester of The Pew Charitable Trusts how they've navigated finding and building spaces of belonging. We all deserve to be affirmed, celebrated, and seen in our workplaces. Programs like the RAY Fellowship Program and Black Girl Environmentalist’s fellowship are foundational solutions to this gap. As Ki'Ana points out, sometimes "the only way to feel included is to create our own spaces". Music from #Uppbeat: https://lnkd.in/efAduVFQ License code: TOJZNHTS2DG0JE76
