I found this new Racial Equity Message Guide with links to worksheets, resources and glossary helpful personally and for my consulting work with nonprofits, foundations and CDFIs. Take a look and share with others.
Calls for racial equity are growing & getting louder every day. But how do you talk about equitable policies? Our new guide helps advocates effectively talk to policymakers about embedding equity in policy: spr.ly/6019HYgEX

This is an incredible metaphor for life. You can spend forever trying to perfect your strategy and still miss. The better option: Don’t waste time. Take the shot as soon as you get the chance. You never know. ❤️

Good advice for investing in #racialjustice - And hold investment advisers (gatekeepers) accountable for regularly demonstrating an inclusive, unbiased process for sourcing, vetting and recommending diverse asset managers. Few can do this today or are willing to report on it.
