This episode is a deep dive into what it really means to partner with—not for—communities. Host Cherri Jacobs Pruitt is joined by Jill LaLonde and Sheku Muhamed Gossimu, Jr. from One Village Partners, an organization working alongside communities in Sierra Leone to challenge the legacy of top-down aid and embrace a model of development grounded in equity, humility, and lasting partnership.
