Great speaking at #ACFConF22 with @KennyImafidon & @faridkelekun, thinking about the space that Foundations like ours occupy and how we can leverage it for long-term change...

Sharing, shifting, or relinquishing power?

Individual discomfort v systemic change?

Roots v Branch?

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

An absolutely packed room at our Funding a More Equitable Future session at #ACFConf22 on power & leadership, delivered by @faridkelekun, @RowenaEstwick and our partner @KennyImafidon @CVR_Insights.
Here's a thread with some food for thought for funders from their presentation🧵

@dopeblackdads Not sure what my reply would be, but this post should definitely come with a trigger warning....

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

Health equity and race are intrinsically linked, and health equity is deeply influenced by organisation leaders. Our partnership with @dinnhq and @InclusiveBoards aims to increase Black people in leadership positions in areas that impact on health outcomes.

I suppose one question we can all ask ourselves is "as an organisations working on such issues, do we have the range of perspectives needed to spot or even understand, if and when we only have a partial story?"

We don't know what we don't know...

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

Equitable research & funding means giving the time, money & resource to those most impacted by an issue - the real subject experts. But this doesn't happen enough.

@RowenaEstwick talks about how we, & others, can make health research more equitable: https://t.co/fujYObEJ9F

Please watch this beautiful vid. It says much of what I've been too sad, angry & overwhelmed to say in recent weeks. ♥️ @KafiaHaile @heatherkmak @RChandran1
