“Partnering with The Pivot Fund helped us reach newsrooms truly embedded in their communities,” said Shikiri Hightower-Gaskin, communications lead for our Foundation’s Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence strategy and co-host of a webinar we created with @thepivotfund. “We believe that ending domestic violence requires changing the conversation — and journalism has the power to shape how we talk about, understand, and ultimately end domestic violence. Together, we’re building a community of informed reporters leading that change with the Journalism Playbook.” Click the link in bio to learn more about our workshop with The Pivot Fund. https://tr.ee/mjcTG8IOzl (fb)

Although #BlackHistoryMonth is coming to an end, we continue celebrating Black leadership that is reshaping philanthropy. One of those trailblazers is Janiece Evans-Page, CEO of the Tides Foundation (@tidescommunity). As Janiece puts it: “We’re committed to uplifting and supporting those doing the work on the front lines. More than ever, we’re intentional about ensuring their voices are heard—amplifying their impact while also protecting them and the communities they serve.” This is what philanthropy should look like—centering those most affected, shifting power, and creating real pathways for healing and justice. Read the entire conversation Shikiri Hightower-Gaskin had with Janiece (link in below), and let’s continue to uplift Black changemakers and invest in the visionaries who are shaping our collective future. https://blueshieldcafoundation.org/blog/celebrating-black-history-janiece-evans-page-ceo-tides (fb)
