In honor of AAPI Heritage month, I’m replaying some of my favorite episodes from AAPI leaders. This episode with North Star Fund’s Jennifer Ching is a personal fave. Enjoy! Join me and Northstar Fund's Executive Director Jennifer Ching to discuss decolonizing philanthropy.  In this hugely important conversation, Jen shares how the work of the Northstar Fund is actively working towards dismantling white supremacy and power and centering the work and decision-making of BIPOC activists.  By recasting our own relationship and assumptions about money, we can engage in becoming resource mobilizers, not "fundraisers."  We also touch on the nonprofit and philanthropic industrial complex that is predicated on power, control and lack of transparency.  What does it mean to be a community-led, community-centered philanthropist?  How can we meet this moment at the intersection of race, power, money and action in our own lives and as leaders of organizations?  This is a thought-provoking and high-octane conversation with one of my faves!
