In the nonprofit sector, we use stories and images to capture the interest (and care) of community members and potential donors. How often are those stories and images used in extractive ways, that reproduce the dynamics of giver/receiver, service provider/recipient? How do the stories we tell and the images we choose, replicate harm and perpetuate false narratives? Who is collecting, shaping, and telling stories, and for whose benefit? How can story be rooted in powerful and authentic co-creation, and be shaped by the voices and leadership of those at the center of the work?

Robin Rosenberg, PhD, is a psychologist, CEO and Founder of Live In Their World. They use Virtual Reality to address issues of bias an incivility in the workplace. Robin's professional curiosity and clinical practice drew her towards the burgeoning field of virtual reality (VR) about 25 years ago. Robin followed the psychology of virtual reality literature for years, and then collaborated on research about VR. At the same time, the world was hearing about the frequency of young Black people being killed by white people, including police (2012 on), which led to a surge in focusing on challenges in diversity and Black Lives Matter. In turn this led some white people to say “all lives matter.” Through her work as a psychologist, she hypothesized that if white people could get enough of a sense of a Black person’s lived experience, they would understand what the statement Black Lives Matter really means and, in turn, wouldn’t say “all lives matter.” It wasn’t until early 2018 , when the Oculus Go VR headset was

David Jernigan is the President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA). For many companies and organizations, the past year has provoked critical conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and inspired many to take necessary steps to address systemic racism.  While the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) has been advocating for racial equity for over 80 years, they too have been on their own DEI journey over the past year.  With nearly 90% of BGCMA youth identifying as African American or Latinx and the large majority of BGCMA employees coming from racially diverse backgrounds, this past year has been a deeply introspective period for the organization.  We talk at length about these things, learning that how BGCMA navigates this journey together matters and ultimately defines the organization that they will become.  We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon.
