In this clip from The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators, we unpack the complex and often disappointing experiences many of us have had transitioning from K-12 education into the nonprofit sector. What happens when a nonprofit promises liberation, wellness, and equity—but delivers more of the same burnout, silencing, and disillusionment? We explore how nonprofit workspaces, often led by inspiring executive directors and powerful mission statements, can still replicate the same oppressive systems educators tried to escape.
For so many Black educators and professionals of color, nonprofits seemed like a place for healing and purpose-driven work. But what do you do when your voice is still stifled, your mental health deteriorates, and the promised culture of liberation turns out to be performative? We reflect on these hard truths and offer space for collective truth-telling.
Whether you’re a former educator, a nonprofit employee, or someone seeking liberatory spaces to work and thrive—this conversation is for you.
