CoThinkk recently honored local community leaders who diligently strive to advance communities of color in Asheville and Western North Carolina.

CoThinkk presented eight awards: four community leadership awards, two next generation awards (21 and under), and two awards highlighting community allies.

“The Community Leadership, Ally, and Next Generation awards are special because they continue to highlight the leadership of invisible leaders in our communities that are doing amazing work and heavy lifting that often goes unrecognized,” Tracey Greene-Washington, founder and author of Choosing Purposeful Alignment: The Messy Middle of Transformation Alignment, explained.

CoThinkk uplifts leaders of color and allies who are playing a critical role in the social change ecosystem of Western NC and working to shift the narrative of communities of color. Designed specifically to create supportive networks, accelerate systemic change and seed new initiatives through a more equitable shared leadership model that raises the bar and causes for a more inclusive philanthropic ecosystem.
