#AskHer: Thrive As They Lead

Host Organization: Washington Area Women's Foundation

About

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.

During this insightful roundtable discussion, we’ll also explore ten core themes that emerged from interviews with Black women and gender-expansive leaders in our region. The themes highlighted the challenges and barriers they face including inequitable compensation and unique funding obstacles.
