082 White Supremacy in Non-Profits & Feminist Approaches to International Development with Emily Bove

The Empower Podcast with Emily Kennedy

Happy Black History Month! Since episode 053 (Dear White Listeners) I’ve been thinking and reading about anti-racism. In non-profits in particular and this tension between helping others, but not following a white savior model. So today’s guest has some really interesting thoughts on this.

Today we are talking all things international development, white supremacy in non-profits, and feminism. We talk about why feminist approaches to international development matter, how white supremacy manifests itself in non-profits, how women can be their own biggest enemies for disrupting gender stereotypes, and advice for those going into international development.
