“When consulting with institutions, we map not only their current population, but also understand where the underserved population centers are located. We understand how these cohorts spend their professional and leisure time. We understand what interests them and what they reject and avoid.“

Seven conversations with seven unique and inspiring LGBTQIA2S+ community leaders. We talk about camp, independence, identity, courageous conversations, the learning curve, performative alllyship and more. The series is named after the 2021 Everyone is Awesome Lego set, as these discussions take place as Lego set is gradually assembled. New episodes will be added throughout the month of June so check back for new additions!

Over the summer of 2021, our Founder & CXO, Tamara, set up conversations with LGBTQIA2S+ community leaders, and as they discussed a range of topics, she gradually assembled the Everyone Is Awesome Lego set, with the intention to share these conversations during PRIDE month in 2022. This series is based on three goals:

1. Elevate and amplify LGBTQIA2S+ voices during PRIDE month and beyond.

2. Respectfully disrupt trends in performative allyship by giving LGBTQIA2S+ community leaders a platform to share their insights and authentic selves.

3. Spark conversations during PRIDE month that continue well beyond the month of June, and result in social impact.

We invite you to listen, watch and join the conversation!

It is also something that has held back Nonprofits from maximizing their ability to engage the next generation of donors, volunteers and leaders.

LINKEDIN SERIES: The chicken and egg Dilemma - Part 3. There is a tension that exists in many organizations, especially Nonprofits whose mission is to foster identity and affinity as well as charitable giving. Which comes first? Philanthropy or engagement?
