In this episode of the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership podcast, Sarah Olivieri hosts Takema Robinson, a social justice strategist and CEO of Converge, to discuss strategies for integrating racial and intersectional justice in nonprofits.

As a for-profit Black-woman-owned company, Converge is unapologetically committed to investing its dollars in companies owned by people of color, women, and companies that demonstrate a commitment to communities of color.

With over 20 years of experience in strategic philanthropy, policy advocacy, and fundraising, Takema has built a company with clients like the Ford Foundation, Walton Family Foundation, Walmart Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Foundation, representing over $50 billion in philanthropic investment worldwide.

Takema hosts the Converge for Change podcast, which features many stirring and thought-provoking conversations—like this episode with LaTosha Brown, Co-Founder of Black Voters Matter—where they discuss her grassroots organization committed to turning red states blue.

She is also an aspiring author who has published numerous insightful pieces for acclaimed magazines, including Inside Philanthropy, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and the Non-Profit Quarterly.
