In episode 11 the Think 100% podcast discusses and breakdown the movement’s diversity pipeline problem and the monolithic policy implications as they relate to key components including philanthropy, academia, government, and nonprofits. In episode 11 confronts this dynamic and explore the solutions with special guest Whitney Tome, Executive Director of Green 2.0. While Whitney Tome is the Executive Director of Green 2.0; she also is Principal of The Raben Group. Whitney has worked with fishermen, environmentalists, advocates, political strategists, government employees, and thought leaders to develop the approach and solutions needed for the problem.Whitney's initiative is to increase the racial diversity of the largest national environmental NGOs, foundations and federal government agencies. The podcast also confront the myth that people of color lack interest in the environment, examine regulatory and legislative challenges, and explore how greater diversity in strategy and message can help the movement educate and activate a broader base of support.
I think that the initiative Whitney has is great and needs to be more focused on .I think the podcast did a good job reiterating what was you on and asking the right questions. On the other hand there needed to be clarification on how mush the people and actually help with these pipeline issues and getting people involved in the issues involving diversifying green.
