It's time for the sector and philanthropy to step up, address these inequities, and create systems that ensure leadership sustainability—especially for those of us carrying the weight of overlooked identities. This must be more than just a conversation starter. #LeadershipSustainability #FoundersOfColor #EquityInLeadership #NonprofitLeadership
