Research indicates Black fundraisers bring incredible intrinsic motivation, passion and lived experience to their work, yet they are not experiencing inclusion within their organizations. Instead, they’re confronted by white supremacy, anti-Blackness and experience workplace racial trauma as a result.
Tune in as we shed light on the challenges Black fundraisers contend with, and how they find the motivation to carry on in spite of them.
Learn with us, as we explore next-in-class strategies for fund development, fundraising, diversity, equity and inclusion. Celebrate with us as we pay homage to Black culture.
Lastly, join our network of fundraisers of color and allies as we elevate Black voices and push for a more equitable and inclusive sector.

**ABOUT TODAY’S GUEST****
In Celebration of Black History Month, Historian and Author Adrian Miller stopped by the Black Fundraisers' Podcast to discuss African and Black Influence on food in America.
Adrian distinguishes southern cooking from "soul food" and shares the origins of some of our favorite dishes. His research suggests some of the foods we know and have origins in African communities. While other fan favorites, like BBQ are rooted in Native American Culture.
Adrian also shares details on his latest book, Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue, which discusses the culinary contributions Indigenous people, Native Americans and Blacks have made to make BBQ what it is today.
