For Us, By Us: The Power of the Collective | Honoring MLK's Legacy

Описание: Can small nonprofits survive the "Trust Gap" in 2026?

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, we discuss the challenges of minority-led nonprofits, the "For Us, By Us" movement, and why collaboration beats competition. 🤎✊🏾

In this episode, we sit down with:

Shawana Carter (Carter’s House)

Pastor Donald Parish Jr. (A Steady Hand)

King Shakur (Volunteering While Black)

📺 Why "Loot" and "Breaking Bad" Matter to Your Local Nonprofit

We dive into how modern media portrays nonprofits as vehicles for money laundering and corruption. From the satire in Apple TV’s "Loot" to the dark tropes in "Breaking Bad," these narratives create real-world funding inequities for legitimate, mission-driven Black-led organizations.

💡 Key Takeaways:

The Scarcity Mindset: Moving from competition to collective impact.

The "Beloved Community": Building Dr. King’s vision in a system stacked against us.

Collective Effort: Why progress is rooted in the "Power of the Collective."
