Wearing Multiple Hats: My reality of leading a nonprofit

For the past 5 years, I didn’t just keep the lights on. I fought tooth and nail for every contract, every grant, every opportunity to keep our programs alive. I carried the grief, the leadership, the work, and the hope for what this could still become. And I couldn’t have done it without the support of my community.
