🌟 Shining a Light on the American South’s Untapped Change-Makers 🌟 Marc Carr MBA reflects on a recent tour of the American South, it’s clear that we’re only scratching the surface of the immense change-making talent that exists within these communities. From Clarksdale, Mississippi—known as the home of the blues but rich with community redevelopment efforts—to bustling Charlotte, I witnessed powerful initiatives led by local leaders deeply rooted in the challenges their communities face. These “proximate leaders” are the very people driving innovative solutions, reclaiming their communities, and demonstrating a unique, authentic approach to impact that only those close to the issues can bring. This journey reinforced the importance of being on the ground, not just looking at data from afar. Foundations have a crucial role in supporting these local changemakers by truly understanding community needs, which often means taking the time to tour, listen, and learn firsthand. Supporting these leaders—who are overlooked far too often—can help catalyze sustainable, locally driven change. If foundations, investors, and advocates continue to focus on proximate leadership, we can uplift these communities and the often-overlooked positive stories that exist alongside the challenges. Let’s recognize and champion the impactful work happening in the South and beyond. #CommunityCapital #ProximateLeadership #SouthernChangeMakers #ImpactInvestment #CommunityDevelopment #UntappedTalent #FoundationsForChange #InvestInTheSouth #ClarksdaleMississippi #Charlotte

Obstacles in life are not roadblocks; if you allow them, they become stepping stones to your strength. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow, sharpen your resilience, and strengthen your determination. When life tests you, it’s not to break you—it’s to build you into a stronger, wiser, and more capable version of yourself. Every setback holds a lesson, preparing you for what's ahead. Take inspiration from Naspers South Africa CEO, Phuthi M. Mahanyele-Dabengwa, who overcame significant challenges to rise as one of our nation's most phenomenal business leaders. Her story reminds us that true strength is born from perseverance. #Inspiration #Leadership #Resilience #GrowthMindset #womeninleadership
