This year, the Deaconess Foundation launched the Institute for Black Liberation, a novel approach to developing liberatory consciousness through healing the pains of internalized racism. The leadership development program provides Black Diaspora people in the Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois region with a space to name, reckon with, and heal from racial trauma and grow as leaders who will pursue a just future.

Bethany speaks to Delaney about the importance of healing for leaders and activists and how philanthropic and nonprofit organizations can invest in this process.
