    Episode 11 The Soul of Philanthropy with Valaida Fullwood

    In the realm of philanthropy, there exists a vibrant tapestry woven with stories of generosity, resilience, and community impact.

    Enter Valaida Fullwood, a trailblazer in the field of Black philanthropy whose remarkable journey exemplifies the transformative power of giving back. Host of the Giving While Black podcast, Barron J, aptly describes Valaida's mission as one to "uplift, amplify, and celebrate Black philanthropists, people of color who are doing amazing things in their community each and every day." Valaida's story is one of resilience, passion, and a deep commitment to making a difference.
