Lauren and Teia have been having challenging conversations about the non-profit system and all its flaws. Now, it's time to put those challenges to Vu Le - author of the well-known blog NonprofitAF. Do consultants really have that much power? What about if white people bite back - aka 'whitelash'? How can multiple Executive Directors work together effectively? Vu Le (“voo lay”) is a writer, speaker, vegan, Pisces, and the former Executive Director of Rooted in Vibrant Communities, a nonprofit in Seattle that promotes social justice by developing leaders of colour, strengthening organizations led by communities of colour, and fostering collaboration between diverse communities. But most importantly, Vu shows us that there is humour in the non-profit sector (yay!) but was he ready for Teia (eek) and the hard questions? Listen to find out!
You can read more about Vu's point of view on the NonprofitAF blog here.
