Who or what does your organization center? Who would you want to be if funding & outside expectations weren't apart of the equation? What strengths do you embody? These are the kinds of questions that help us locate & nurture our core values. In the first installment of this series, we talked about how being intentional about our values supported W.O.M.A.N., Inc. through challenging times. In this episode, we chat about our cultural praxis and the process that brought W.O.M.A.N., Inc. to our most recent Theory of Change. 
Navigating with Integrity is a conversation series mind-mapping crisis response in nonprofit leadership & exploring what it means to dismantle white supremacy culture in our workplaces. You can find this visual mapping here.
