#whatshesaidproject

Shannon Ivey, of the #whatshesaidproject, talks about the work of the project over the last year. From her: I decided to not participate in Midlands Gives this year.Why? I live in a capital city, and I know the hard work of my nonprofit peers. I know the cuts they are facing. Us, too, actually. When budgets are cut on arts grants and other funding agencies, we lose work, too. We lose funding sources, and yet the work continues.AND THEN...I got a call yesterday from the community foundation in the area, and they told me how important our work was.How we were seen and valued.How, thought I am a white female founder, how prioritizing marginalized/equity seeking folks with our programming meant the world to them. If I had been less caffeinated, I would have cried. So, I did an audit of what we (we = me and Melanie McGehee [https://www.facebook.com/melanie.mcgehee?__cft__[0]=AZWX4TVkC7iXTWwywdl5Fm2VOOqEH3u1fXy8h7XctH8BrJTXmVNUpRonAbk3jKvp1mCkY7xTmgkPr2yhyv6BgMHwUVckssOgA9n_2fAQqEy6YkRGcOjWpP_i_zQlgXV3UFS8gjawAKtLD1RKZf-LKA_qjAfnntERDucRf9kX9On3fw&__tn__=-]K-R], with support from lots of other folks) had done with the #whatshesaidproject [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/whatshesaidproject?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZWX4TVkC7iXTWwywdl5Fm2VOOqEH3u1fXy8h7XctH8BrJTXmVNUpRonAbk3jKvp1mCkY7xTmgkPr2yhyv6BgMHwUVckssOgA9n_2fAQqEy6YkRGcOjWpP_i_zQlgXV3UFS8gjawAKtLD1RKZf-LKA_qjAfnntERDucRf9kX9On3fw&__tn__=*NK-R] over the last year.Wanna see what I found?
