Bridging The Gap: A 3 Part Lecture Series
Rooted in conversations from the 2025 Blacks In Philanthropy Conference, this series reflects what community members said matters most. Through presentations and guided dialogue, participants are invited to explore bias, power, accountability, and access within philanthropic spaces.
Hear directly from Katherine N. Nunnally, MPA as she frames the purpose of the series and invites participants into deeper dialogue.
This is an invitation to listen, reflect, and lead with intention—together.
