The Giving Glow Up

By: Xenia Emmanuel and Alexis Marion
  • Summary

  • The Giving Glow Up provides an honest look at philanthropy from the perspectives of two Black and Brown millenials who work in the sector. Traditional philanthropy has yet to save the world, so it's time to go back to the drawing board and give it a makeover. Join us, Xenia Emmanuel and Alexis Marion, as we discuss the fun, the fallacies and the fixes needed to make the field of philanthropy more welcoming for our colleagues and communities.
