Description

In this episode of “Leadership Moves'' we speak with Tonjie Reese about the early days of starting Eleven24, an organization committed to developing and sharing educational resources rooted in intersectionality. Led by liberation, Tonjie’s work seeks to strengthen collective knowledge about interpersonal violence and shift to a violence free culture. Developing a non-profit organization can be intimidating so we spoke with Tonjie about her preliminary doubts and identifying funding that aligns with her organizational values. We also spoke about the importance of learning from our ancestors and how we challenge white supremacy culture in our organizations and in ourselves.

These are the stories of leaders of color who carry the legacies of those who built the movement to end gender-based violence. They carry on the fighting spirit of giants who have moved on from this work like Sojourner Truth, Grace Lee Boggs, bell hooks, Ida B. Wells, Audre Lorde, and Yuri Kochiyama. We talk about the ways they have been harmed by this world while trying their hardest to keep their passion for the movement alive. Consider this our love letter to them and to aspiring leaders of color looking for belonging, inspiration, and affirmation.
