Manage episode 313786291 series 3286989
Tom talks with Former SPACE on Ryder Farm Executive Director Emily Simoness*, Consultant and Co-Facilitator Edie Demas, and playwright and SPACE Strategic Plan Working Group member Deepa Purohit. Tom and this trio of panelists talk about the ways in which SPACE approached and developed their 2021 Strategic Plan (which Tom co-facilitated) through the lens of DEIA and Anti-Racism, and suggest approaches and resources to combat common challenges, as well as anticipate resistance from funders and stakeholders. Tema Okun's piece on white supremacy culture is referenced several times in the conversation and can be found through the link. The full SPACE on Ryder Farm Strategic Plan can be found here.
*NOTE: this conversation was recorded in Summer of 2021 as Emily Simoness was concluding her tenure as SPACE's Founding Executive Director, and as SPACE was undergoing a search for her successor.
