Being new to [family] philanthropy, I’d have to say including the next generation and how to keep them engaged to continue giving seems to be big. It’s important that philanthropy can continue within the family in able to provide research and funds for those who are interested in making the world a better place.
Before beginning at NCFP, I worked at The Brookings Institution in Foreign Policy and Universal Education. I obtained my B.A. in Pan African Studies – Arts and Literature, since my main interests include reading and writing. I have been able to work in different industries such as music, TV, and higher education, where I’ve acquired different styles of writing and information.
I like that I am able to work with individuals who all have a mission to make a difference!
