I quit my job at the Nonprofit I started. How I knew it was time.

I started a nonprofit years ago, and this year, I resigned from my position as Executive Director. #Nonprofits #NonprofitCEO #nonprofitorganization

In this video I want to explore – how do you know it’s time for you to move on from the nonprofit you started as its founder? I’ll share my personal experiences and thought process.

If you are starting or growing a nonprofit, thinking about it, or have just started a nonprofit, or KNOW someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!

Black voters in Milwaukee feel excited, hopeful for Kamala Harris [Video]

There is a new energy this week from a group crucial to winning the 2024 Presidential Election Black voters.Half a dozen community organizers knocked on doors on Milwaukee's Northwest side Thursday, listening to and learning from Black voters like Alicia Jewell. She is happy to see a change at the top of the Democratic ticket."Biden just couldn't uphold the job. He was a good guy and he knew what he was doing," she told WISN 12 News.When asked about Vice President Kamala Harris, Jewell said, "She got my vote.""It wasn't like she's coming into something she knew nothing about. She was the Vice President," she added.Freddie Bredley agreed and plans to vote for who she hopes will be the first woman president."This has been a long time coming for us, and Biden has really fought for us for over 54 years and to see him nominate Harris, I am so happy about it," she said.Angela Lang, Executive Director of Black Leaders Organizing for Communities, or BLOC, said her ambassadors are seeing a monumental shift. BLOC is a nonprofit encouraging civic engagement and empowerment in Black communities."A lot of folks have actually compared this to the same type of enthusiasm as 2008, President Obama's first election," she said."Fundraising numbers are exploding, and people are really energized for the first time in this electoral cycle," she added.The Black voters 12 News spoke with believe Harris can deliver on issues most important to them."I think she's gonna bring a lot..especially abortion, and rights for women," Bredley said."Women's issues, joblessness, homelessness. She's wonderful. She can run this country, she's a younger generation than both Biden and of course Trump, but I can hope she can do it," Reggie Brown said.On Sunday and Monday night, thousands of people participated in two separate Zoom calls, "Win with Black Women," and "Win with Black Men." They raised more than $2 million for the Harris campaign.
