“Grief is the price of love.” We honor Dr. Maxine Mimms, who joined the ancestors last week. A trailblazer, she uplifted Black people in Washington as an educator and founder of Evergreen State's Tacoma Campus and Mimms Academies. Her legacy inspires us all.

While the growing diversity among our civic leaders is a positive step, true community representation goes deeper. Relying on a few individuals risks tokenization and oversimplifies our experiences. Check out our Black Well-being report: blackfuturewa.org/blackwellbeing

Philanthropy must engage in radical truth-telling about the origin of its wealth—often from Black labor—to address historical wrongs. We stand with iF, A Foundation for Radical Possibility advocating for Black healing through their recent report. nonprofitquarterly.org/cracks-in-the-…

The idea of a government "for and by the people" is foundational, but we still have much work to do. To create a more equitable future, we must empower communities who’ve been marginalized to lead. blackfuturewa.org/blackwellbeing
