Join Philanthropy Northwest for a conversation with Hanif Fazal, author of his debut upcoming book, "An Other World." Hanif, the co-founder of the Center for Equity & Inclusion, wrote "An Other World" to nurture the identities of people of color, center community and prioritize our individual and collective healing and well-being.   

Part social commentary, part memoir and call to action, "An Other World" offers a hopeful path forward where joy is the norm rather than struggle, where school and work are inclusive rather than exclusionary, and where Brown and Black relationships lead to a unique experience of freedom.  

During this meeting we will:  

• Nurture a sense of community with one another.  
• Identify BIPOC needs within philanthropy (around equity efforts and within philanthropy as a whole).  
• Identify the role and impact of a connected community of color on individual BIPOC members and within philanthropy at large.
