  • Edgar Villanueva: How Joyful Resistance Will Move $1 Trillion in Reparative Finance
    2025/06/05
    In this moving kickoff to The PlayFull Podcast’s new “Brave Voices” series, host Kristine Michie is joined by Edgar Villanueva—author, activist, and founder of the Decolonizing Wealth Project—for a vulnerable, powerful conversation about truth-telling, repair, and joyful resistance. With deeply personal stories and bold new initiatives, Edgar and Kristine invite listeners into a visionary conversation about healing our systems and ourselves. This is a must-listen for changemakers ready to root their impact in courage, equity, and play.Key Takeaways:Edgar Villanueva's work reclaims philanthropy as a form of spiritual and cultural healing, rooted in his own personal and ancestral history.Reparations, at their core, are about repairing broken systems for the collective good, not about loss or blame.The Decolonizing Wealth Project has launched a $20 million Youth Mental Health Fund prioritizing BIPOC and queer youth with support from Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Ventures!DWP has launched a $1 trillion moonshot for reparative justice over the next decade.Liberated Capital operates as a multi-racial, community-guided giving platform where members can contribute starting at $5/month. Anyone can join!Edgar emphasizes the importance of humor and joy as tools for resilience and community in justice movements.Reparative philanthropy isn’t about saviorism—it’s about redistributing power and trusting community-led solutions.Over 23 local commissions across the U.S. are actively exploring or implementing reparations today.Even amid polarization and despair, Edgar believes healing is possible through love, grace, and deep spiritual engagement."We all want to move forward, and it's really hard to do that in a real, authentic way in a country that refuses to recognize what has happened." — Edgar Villanueva"Reparations is not only about repairing historical harm; it's about fixing our country in a way that benefits everyone." — Edgar Villanueva"I invite folks to take on the identity of being a healer, and all of us doing what we can to heal even a little might help repair the mess we're in." — Edgar VillanuevaEpisode References: Solidarity By Design from Decolonizing Wealth Project: https://decolonizingwealth.com/solidarity-by-design/About Edgar Villanueva: Edgar Villanueva (Lumbee) is an award-winning author, activist, and founder/CEO of the Decolonizing Wealth Project (DWP) and Liberated Capital.

  • [Rewind] Nancy Levine Stearns: Riding and Reporting on the Tsunami of Support for DEI
    2025/05/29
    We had to rewind this episode from just a few months back because Nancy’s reporting on DEI has become the Bible for those following this issue. In just the last week, Amazon, McDonald’s, and Merck shareholders and boards have all resoundingly rejected proposals to retreat or scale back on their diversity and equity initiatives! They join other powerhouses like John Deere, Yum! Brands, Levi’s, Costco, and Berkshire Hathaway, to name a few! Through relentless reporting and a mix of humor, history, and advocacy, her firm, Impactivize, is highlighting “DEI Job of the Day,” “DEI Employer of the Day,” and all these bold announcements. She also shares her playful book series about how pugs (the sweet, funny-looking dogs) can channel Zen in stressful moments. Key Takeaways:The cascade of corporate announcements proves that the data-driven metrics showing DEI programs positively impact the bottom line will not be ignored by boards and shareholders who have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the bottom line!A small but vocal group of shareholder activists is targeting DEI initiatives, but corporate boards and shareholders overwhelmingly reject their proposals. Again and again.Nancy’s approach to DEI advocacy—highlighting a “DEI Job of the Day” and “DEI Employer of the Day”—injects a level of positivity and engagement into a serious issue.Despite pressure from 19 state attorneys general, Costco and others remain committed to DEI, backed by a 98% shareholder vote. Stories like this are abundant.Play is always in fashion, and companies have long incorporated it into their culture (e.g., team-building exercises and humor), reinforcing the importance of joy in serious work."DEI is anything but on the ropes—it's in the center of the ring throwing counter punches." — Nancy Levine Stearns"At the corporate level, at the board and shareholder level, there really is not much support for these anti-DEI initiatives. And the reason there isn’t much support is because the metrics do show that DEI initiatives are good for the bottom line, and that’s largely how they make their decisions." — Nancy Levine Stearns"There is data. There are metrics-driven. There is data that DEI programs enhance bottom-line metrics, absolutely." — Nancy Levine StearnsEpisode References: On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder: https://bookshop.org/p/books/on-tyranny-twenty-lessons-from-the-twentieth-century-timothy-snyder/16520165?ean=9780804190114&next=t&listref=bookshop-org-best-sellers-of-the-week&next=tAbout Nancy Levine Stearns: Nancy Levine Stearns is a freelance journalist and author of The Tao of Pug book series (Penguin/Skyhorse).

  • [Rewind] Future Proofing the World through Play
    2025/05/22
    SummaryIn this audience-favorite rewind episode, we explore the power of play, joy, and inclusive storytelling for driving transformative social change with Ada Williams Prince. Known widely for her work with Melinda French Gates and Pivotal Ventures, our guest is a visionary nonprofit leader who has stepped out on her own, continuing to champion the voices and experiences of women and girls of color to build a more just and equitable world. She shares how protecting spaces for marginalized communities to dream, imagine, and express their authentic selves is essential for unlocking innovative solutions to complex social issues. We discuss the pivotal role of play in fostering creativity, flexibility, and joy, key ingredients for envisioning alternative futures and reframing perceived weaknesses as strengths. Our guest opens up about how her mother's playful spirit inspired a lifelong commitment to community activism and engagement, and how a summer camp at the YMCA sparked her passion for policy and systems change. She highlights the importance of embracing vulnerability, intersectionality, and intergenerational collaboration to dismantle systemic barriers and drive meaningful structural change through initiatives focused on economic justice, women's rights, and transformative philanthropy.Key Takeaways:Vulnerability is a superpowerThe only thing that future-proofs the world is imaginationThe “adultification” of girls of color robs them of the opportunity to fully explore joy and playTherefore, designing spaces for girls of color to dream, play, and tap their full potential is the ultimate “curb cut” strategy – it benefits everyoneScaling for impact without play leaves you at risk of “getting there,” but without the people, voices, and communities you need around the tableKey Quotes"If there's no joy in it, you're not changing anything." - Ada Williams Prince "If you've ever been in a room of black women, there is no stopping them from building joy and being playful. There's no way, not, not ever, ever, ever, ever. So we never stop being joyful and playful in the midst of all kinds of darkness." - Ada Williams Prince "Scale doesn't always mean linear and scale doesn't always mean up. I think scale can also mean broad. Scale can also mean digging deep." - Ada Williams Prince"The only thing that future proofs the world is imagination, and being able to explore that imagination for all of us." — Ada Williams Prince About Ada Williams Prince: A creative leader at the cutting edge of global and domestic philanthropy. Ada has worked for two decades to advance the power and influence of women and girls of color around the world, She has conceived groundbreaking disruptions to philanthropic norms and scalable models to transform the field along the way.
