In this fourth installment of Third Settlements' special series on mission-driven, social impact leaders of color navigating these uncertain times, Dax speaks with Anne Price. 

Anne Price is the first woman president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, a 50-year-old economic justice and research organization. She previously led the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap initiative at the Center, elevating the voices and opinions of experts of color in national economic debates and policymaking. Anne was one of the first national thought leaders to examine and push for narrative change in addressing race, gender, and wealth inequality, and she was also an early adopter of connecting criminal justice debt to racial wealth inequality. Anne has spent more than 25 years working in the public sector on issues that range from child welfare and hunger to workforce development and higher education. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Mercury News, Citylab, O Magazine, and the Stanford Social Innovation Review

Notably, Anne is a Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and recently authored the paper, “Don’t Fixate on the Racial Wealth Gap: Focus on Undoing its Root Causes”
