In a time of unprecedented challenges, Black women and gender-expansive leaders continue to pioneer innovation, movement-building, and bold leadership across Washington D.C., and its neighboring counties. Yet, systemic inequities present formidable obstacles to their success.
In conjunction with the launch of our latest report: “Thrive As They Lead: Advancing the Infrastructure to Support Black Women Leaders in the D.C. Metro Area Nonprofit Sector,” join us and other community leaders as we delve into ways we, as a community, can accelerate the development of infrastructure to better nurture and empower Black women and gender-expansive leaders across the D.C. region.
