#CommunityEngagement is a term widely used yet has vastly different interpretations. In my very biased opinion, to be effective agents of social change, it is important for us to recognize that we ALL ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS and we each have beautifully diverse talents, skills, resources, power and influence that must be woven together to achieve our shared goals. When we engage with one another, for GHI, it means far more than transactional interactions or checking a box. It means earning trust, being in fellowship, developing an understanding of nuance, not shying away from tough conversations and centering those who are most effected by the inequities we aspire to eliminate. I offer a glimpse into who I am, where I have been and how I aspire to lead as an arbiter of GHI's community engagement efforts with hopes that you each will allow me to learn from your wisdom. #healthequity #maternalhealth #ruralhealth #advocacy #organizing #ittakesavillage #foundation
"As we continue to walk in partnership with our fellow Georgians in our pursuit of fostering health equity, we must do so earning trust, listening actively, being in fellowship often, honoring our past, and being additive to an extraordinarily complex landscape." In our latest Leadership Blog Post, our VP of Community Engagement, Ky Lindberg, shares thoughts on the role of community engagement at the Initiative, and the three core beliefs that have guided her since she was a child. https://lnkd.in/d3VfdSmk

If you're a white supervisor interested in deepening your anti-racist approach in a supportive peer space, register for our next offering of Liberatory Principles & Practices for White Supervisors on Tuesday, July 30th! https://lnkd.in/gu6z9wps We often think of our healing and liberation as a garden that blossoms and thrives because we tend to it. Now, what happens when the pesky invasive species of white supremacy culture are set on destroying it? In our Liberatory Principles & Practices for White Supervisors training, we invite white social justice and nonprofit leaders to engage in this metaphor as a way to unpack and uproot how the characteristics of saviorism and defensiveness might be showing up in their supervision practices.

This book is bound to be a success
One of my favorite parts of serving as Marguerite Casey Foundation's president and CEO is working with an outstanding board of directors, including the one and only Stacey Abrams. I had the honor and pleasure of spending time with Stacey last month celebrating her latest book “Rogue Justice” with a packed house of fans and supporters. “Rogue Justice” is a riveting political thriller grappling with real-world issues we can’t ignore. If you haven’t read it, I urge you to get a copy today, or ask your library to do so! Congratulations, Stacey, on your latest masterpiece, and thank you so much for all you do for MCF on our board of directors! H/t to the First Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina for hosting this event, and to Bookmarks for sponsoring this event with support from Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP.

In my Africana Studies classes the discussion would sometimes come up about the statement, “I don’t see color.” And the issue with that statement is, if you don’t see color, you don’t see me. Visibility is important, hints the quote, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”, and the saying, “Representation matters”. Both of which speak to visibility…. His response was very spot on and well put. We can’t fix issues that are not visible, and therefore are not seen. And I state both because, though some things are visible to someone, that doesn’t mean that they’re seen by everyone. #Perspective #RepresentationMatters #DEIMatters

Teen suicide is a silent crisis affecting our communities, with alarming trends among Black youth. Did you know: · Between 2018 and 2022, the suicide rate among Black youth rose by more than 50% · Suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death for Black children aged 10-14 · Black children under 13 are nearly twice as likely to die by suicide compared to their white peers In Philadelphia, where many of our youth face unique challenges, programs like the Philadelphia Youth Leadership Council are crucial. These initiatives: · Give teens a voice in addressing issues that affect them · Provide peer support and mentorship · Develop leadership skills and confidence · Create a sense of belonging and purpose We can help combat feelings of hopelessness and isolation by empowering our youth, especially those at risk. Supporting programs like PYLC isn't just about developing leaders but saving lives. For more information email: CEU@PHILA.GOV GO TO PHILA.GOV WEBSITE AT https://lnkd.in/ecTBRgrW

I should have edited this video. It's long. There is an awkward pause. And another one. I'm not as good with my words here. That's okay. I'm talking about race. And that's uncomfortable. I grew up in Idaho. Everyone looked like me. I looked like everybody. We didn't talk about diversity or race. Because why would we? If we did, I don't recall any champions for justice. I had a LOT to learn. Like this: while we celebrate Juneteenth, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in 1862. By design, it took 2 ½ years for news to reach the last slaves in Galveston, Texas. On June 19th, 1865. Not even justice was justly delivered. The sacrifice and suffering originating from American slavery is a stain on our history. It has been replaced with systemic, structural racism that persists. Especially in real estate. We can make a difference here. The future is ours to advance a more just and equitable future. It’s one thing to reflect and learn. It’s another to act. It's the work of individuals and business leaders to insist on change, then make it. It's my work.
