I would like to see MORE funding bodies CREATING MORE pots of funding, that financially support leaders from minoritised groups The leadership journey is tough, the minoritised leadership journey is tougher, the black leadership journey is HARSH...
FOLLOW THREAD ⬇️

One of the reasons we are not witnessing/enjoying a diverse range of leaders from minoritised groups is because minoritised are faced with too many hard knocks along the way, hitting heads on brickwalls, none stop jumping hoops, surviving, living, breathing...
FOLLOW THREAD ⬇️

The knocks discourage SOME to the point of giving up and settling for the steady jobs that steadily bring food to the table...🙏

As a result, society is missing out on an amazing diversified leadership #trailblazers #livedexperience

Few funds identify humans like these... (hair pulling conditions🤔)
We need CONSISTENT financial support as leaders go through their journey?
I'm not talking about applying for funds, l'm talking about Funders offering financial support #leadership #hardwork
FOLLOW THREAD⬇️

That way we are

A) eliminating/lifting off one of the major hindrances that stop minoritised leaders from successfully walking their leadership journey (food on the table, basic needs)

B) we are creating a buffer and collectively acknowledging that: Yes the leadership journey is hard, however its harder and harsher for some, due to (ethnicity, skin colour)

C) the action/support in itself will encourage the next generation of minoritized leaders to dare take a step in the leadership direction
