Here's a bit about me: I am Founder and CEO of AgentsC Inc., an international company delivering philanthropy solutions to the non-profit and private sector. I've spent almost 30 years working with major philanthropists, corporations, and grant-making foundations as well as charities and NGOs from across the world. I am a Black philanthropist, I am an African born and raised in the UK, and now living in Canada. My perspectives are uniquely diverse and frequently thought provoking. I'm an advocate of Equity Philanthropy and passionate about social impact. I am a proud father, husband, son, brother, nephew, and friend!I hope you enjoy this podcast, which will serve as an archive of wonderful and inspiring stories about black generosity.
