Listen now
Description
In our final episode, four TGP Senior Advisors – Katie Hong, Lisa McGill, Abby Sarmac and Lalitha Vaidyanathan – reflect on the stories we heard across Season 1, sharing perspectives and advice based on their work as consultants supporting a diversity of philanthropy boards and leaders along their racial equity journeys. Together they reflect on the moment we’re in as a philanthropic sector and acknowledge the critical work of infrastructure groups who’ve paved the way for philanthropy to take on equity and justice like the Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) and Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP). They explore the work of racial equity at the personal, interpersonal, organizational and systemic levels and emphasize that there’s no roadmap or one right way.  Finally, they drive home the importance of moving this work forward as a community. “We need each other for transformation…and if you’re embarking on this work, you’re not alone. You’re absolutely not alone.” Katie shares.
