Makes a difference for underrepresented communities

Change is sometimes slow to occur

There are some great people to work with.

I genuinely don’t know where the money raised actually goes. Lack of clear structure or standard operating procedures across teams, leading to burnout, confusion, and duplicated efforts. Creative and brand leadership is undervalued and often expected to carry an outsized workload without corresponding support or compensation. Leadership lacks transparency, often making decisions in silos with little communication or collaboration across departments. Requests for resources or support are frequently delayed or dismissed, despite repeated advocacy. Budget cuts disproportionately affect high-performing teams, leading to talent loss and stalled momentum. Long-term strategic goals are often deprioritized in favor of reactive, last-minute work—leaving little room for innovation or growth.
