Behind The Veil Book & Summit
Donation protected
As you may know, last year I launched Behind the Veil - a project focused on women, race, and leadership in the nonprofit social justice sector. Since then, our team has hosted a lecture series, a two day student conference, and several essay writing days. The future includes publishing a book next year, writing retreats, and more opportunities to highlight and support women of color excellence in leadership.
Written in collaboration with more than 20 women of color, all current or former senior nonprofit leaders and/or founders, the book will highlight our leadership journeys using first person narrative storytelling. The book will also benefit those who are hungry for inspiration, guidance, and resources that challenge traditional leadership doctrine.
Based on the BTV book proposal, I’ve been selected to attend a writing summit, in September, that helps first time authors with the creative and practical aspects of publishing a book. Attendees will have access to experts including publishers, editors, and accomplished authors. There are fees, including international travel, associated with the summit. We’ve just begun creating fundraising structures for the nonprofit portion of BTV, however all book activities have been self funded up to this point. Please support the book by contributing to the BTV fund. Your support would help first with summit expenses. Any leftover funds would support BTV essayists and other book related expenses. Thank you in advance for your help.
