Episode 17 – Getting personal with the authors of Collecting Courage

Collecting Courage

(December 10, 2021) One year ago, an anthology of stories written by Black fundraisers working in Canada and the United States laid bare the underlying racism in the philanthropic sector.  Since that time the editors and contributors of Collecting Courage: Joy, Pain Freedom Love have been on the virtual book tour circuit talking about racism, community, and best the way forward. And today we’re stepping back from talking about the contents of the book to talk to the editors and contributors to about how the writing of the book has affected them personally.  Today we welcome:

  • Birgit Smith Burton from Atlanta, Georgia
  • Niambi Martin-John from Mississauga, Ontario
  • Marva Wisdom from Guelph, Ontario
  • Kishshana Palmer from Queens, New York
  • Naimah Bilal from Cincinnati, Ohio
  • Christal M. Cherry from Union City, Atlanta
  • Nneka Allen from Abbottsford, BC
  • Camila Pereira from Toronto, Ontario
  • Nicole Salmon from Brampton, Ontario

Talking UP is an interview show dedicated to writers, journalists and authors working on issues of social justice, equity, and the nonprofit sector. Guests talk about their reporting and research, what drives their work, and what’s important to them. Listeners will have the opportunity to widen their lens, develop their understanding and figure out where we might go from here.
