@ncgrantmakers plenary session w/ @KateBReynolds President Dr. Laura Gerald discussing racial equity in our work - “We have to tell the truth. And there is another part the story - we had to right some wrongs.”
Our @KateBReynolds Trust President transparently shares how our founder, Mrs. Reynolds, was a woman ahead of her time and of her time from the lens of race and place.
To change the system, we need to start with ourselves.
This year marks our 75th anniversary. We are reflecting back on our work over the years as a way to move forward, to examine the root causes of issues our founder, Mrs. Reynolds, cared about, & address them on today's terms
Let’s strengthen and invest in our public health infrastructure in NC and around the country so that we can help communities heal from trauma and prevent acts of violence like these from happening again. (3/3)

Over the last two weeks, we’ve bore witness to the devastating loss of Black families in Buffalo, NY. That same weekend, 7 Winston-Salem residents were injured in an act of gun violence. On Tuesday, it was the loss of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas (1/3)
“Black women remain 3 times more likely than white women to die during pregnancy or childbirth or in the first year of their child’s life. It’s a national problem that’s worst in the South, where about half of Black women live.” @womensfdnsouth
