Episode 7: Decolonizing Wealth in Big Philanthropy with Edgar Villanueva
Edgar Villanueva didn’t plan on starting a movement. If it wasn’t for his boss telling him that he was getting “too big for his britches,” he’d likely still be knee-deep in big philanthropy. Instead of leaving, however, he was spurred on to write his book Decolonizing Wealth. On this week’s show, we talk about the problems he saw in philanthropy, how his take on the industry set a fire under people longing for change, and how to continue having authentic conversations with love.
Episode 6: Breaking Bias in Storytelling with Ed Yong and Liz Neeley
Ed Yong spent two years trying to fix the gender imbalance in the stories he was writing for The Atlantic, and wrote about his findings.

Part of digging deeper was bringing Ed Yong and his partner Liz Neeley of The Story Collider to speak at our Mission Forward Spring Reception. This podcast episode features that conversation on building equity through storytelling, and what we can all learn from their experience. Conversation moderated by Carrie Fox.
