We are excited about the connections we made in May. We had the opportunity to share space with fearless women leaders in the philanthropy sector at the 'Staying Fearless: Supporting Equity in an Era of Backlash' DC event at the top of the month. Our first in-person meet & greet was held mid-month in Richmond, VA. One of our board members* traveled to Charlottesville, VA to speak to how we are reimagining philanthropy. We ended the month with a dope conversation filled with gems on building donor relationships. Special shoutout and thanks to the women, femmes who made May eventful: Amanda Liaw, Mary Kwak, Shannon Jeffries, Tobi Shannon, Margaret Chapman, Erika Schmale, Bianca Myrick, Natisha Knight*, Abbey Philips, Sarah Jane Brubaker, Kheila Jones, Dr. Shantell Chambliss, Hanh Le, Melody Webb, Tamira Benitez. |
