Amplifying the Voices of BIPOC Leaders with Darren Isom

Successful Nonprofits Podcast

Today’s guest, Darren Isom, doesn’t love diversity just for the sake of diversity, but because honoring and celebrating diversity is how we all win. BIPOC leaders bring invaluable lived experiences that offer unique perspectives and insights to our world’s and sector’s problems. By amplifying these voices, we strengthen our teams, our nonprofits, our sector, and ultimately the world.

Darren joins us today to share what he has learned about amplifying and honoring diverse voices from his own personal experiences and work in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This episode answers the following questions:

• What does winning look like?
• How are BIPOC leaders navigating the world?
• How can BIPOC leaders’ own experiences inform others’ leadership journeys?
• How can your nonprofit make meaningful change?
