SERIES: Role of the Non-Profit Sector + Equity
“It's all about hope. And hope is what carried slaves through the worst discrimination… So hold on to hope because tomorrow shall come.” -Lorez Bailey
Episode Description:
What makes leadership harder than it already is? It's when you're caught between being a leader that everybody needs and someone that your self need. Today, Jennifer interviews Lorez Bailey, the Executive Officer of Chop's Teen Club, a non-profit that provides a safe space for teens. Lorez gives us a glimpse of this unique mission and how it impacts recovery. Jennifer and Lorez also discuss remarkable points about connecting families to resources, staying true to your mission without a mission drift, the need for leaders to care for themselves, a secret path to conquer fear, weaving the fun and the laughter in your assignment, and the secret to being authentic and vulnerable without losing your credibility as a trusted leader. Also, learn some common mistakes to avoid if you are to extend help to disaster-affected families. As an African-American, Lorez also shares what leadership looks like amidst equity issues. Tune in and discover the power of hope in giving light during the darkest of times.
