In the second episode of the For the Love of Humanity Podcast, I’m taking you with me to examine how philanthropy has shifted away from its roots in community care — as influenced by capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy.
I’ll tell you why I believe that philanthropy needs to move away from corporate models and focus on being community-centric, and I’m advocating for transformative change in how nonprofit organizations operate.
The episode explores historical context, the influence of industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John Rockefeller, and challenges you to reflect on your values… and the true meaning of philanthropy.
We’ll end with a call to action, where I challenge you and every other listener to prioritize people and community… in all philanthropic efforts.
