My post about racism witnessed by my son from a lecturer received significant reaction. Many were outraged & upset by what had happened. But what do we do when the anger and grief from racist attacks, assaults or insults subsides? 👉🏿 bit.ly/4arNrFQ #racism #education

Why do so many founders get kicked out of the not-for-profits they start? I’ve lost count of the #socialentrepreneurs who start commercial companies but change to a not-for-profit to access grants. Few realise in this process you hand over control @MeWe360 bit.ly/3xbGQAk
