Eleshea Williams is the Social Media Officer at Amnesty International, LinkedIn Top Voice, Speaker and thought leader on social media marketing. I was delighted to have her join me (all the way from Surrey!) on the What’s the Chari-tea? sofa to talk all things nonprofit life. We talk about how Eleshea harnessed a passion for education and social justice into a career within the charity sector, as well as how nonprofit organisations can manage their brand both effectively and sensitively. As always we reflect on our own wellbeing and share thoughts on how to balance intense work with self-care. A huge thank you to Rosterfy for kindly sponsoring this episode.
