Summary:

During trying times like the one we're experiencing now, people push back against the changing tides, and often, black women represent those changing tides. All leaders have challenges and obstacles that they must overcome to lead effectively, but for black women leading legacy organizations in philanthropy, those challenges are unique. * Audience will learn more about what leadership at a legacy foundation looks like * Audience will receive insight about the unique challenges of being a Black woman in leadership * Audience will receive insight about why it's so important for women of color to lead organizations like Ms. during this tumultuous time -Teresa C. Younger has served as president and CEO of the Ms. Foundation for Women since 2014. Under Teresa's leadership, the foundation launched #MyFeminismIs, a multimedia campaign sparking a national conversation on feminism; funded a groundbreaking report on the sexual-abuse-to-prison pipeline; helped announce a $100 million funding commitment to create pathways to economic opportunity for low-income women and girls; and led a campaign to hold the NFL accountable for violence against women. A noted speaker, advocate, and activist, Teresa has been on the front lines of some of the most important battles for women's health, safety, and economic justice. She was honored by Planned Parenthood Federation of America as a Dream Keeper, given Liberty Bank's Willard M. McRae Community Diversity Award, and named one of the "50 Most Powerful Women in Philanthropy" by Inside Philanthropy. A graduate of the University of North Dakota, Teresa serves on the boards of several philanthropic and advocacy organizations and initiatives. She previously served as the executive director of the Connecticut General Assembly's Permanent Commission on the Status of Women and as executive director of the ACLU of Connecticut-the first African American and the first woman to hold that position.
