Are you ready to shake your perspective on the nonprofit sector? Today we are joined by Breauna Dorelus, the founder and chief cause consultant at Connecting the Cause. A fervent advocate for community-centered support, Breauna challenges us to confront and dismantle the harmful practices that shadow the noble intent in nonprofit works, particularly towards black and brown communities.

We emphasize the importance of black-led leadership and the need to shatter harmful stereotypes. Join us as we underscore the value of reciprocal relationships and the crucial role of community involvement in decision-making. As a bonus, we bring into focus the role of businesses in fostering community engagement and systemic change. Tune in as Breauna enlightens us on the cultural impact of products and policies, reminding each of us to stay committed to doing what's right, all in pursuit of a more inclusive and equitable world.

In this episode, we talk about the following...
1. Breauna Dorelus's background and the reason why she founded Connecting the Cause.
2. Common mistakes people make when starting to volunteer for communities in need.
3. The importance of building genuine, mutually reciprocal relationships with these communities.
