Many women of color have experienced the double-edged sword of being first and/or only. This week, listen in on an enlightening conversation with CEO of Mercy Corps and the only African American woman at the help of a major international aid and development organization, Tjada D’Oyen McKenna. Tjada and I talk about snacks (obviously!), tips for women of color working in the nonprofit space, and how to support forgotten causes.
Listen on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you enjoy listening to podcasts.
