Michele Jawando: Reimaging Global Philanthropy and Changing Impossible to Possible

What happens when impossibility walks into the room? That’s the question Vice President of Omidyar Network Michelle Jawando asks daily. Tackling intractable, complex social challenges is her job, and she loves it. For as long as she can remember, Michele has intentionally mentored, taught, and created pathways for the women following in her footsteps. As Senior Advisor to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Michelle became famous for her mentoring walks around Capitol Hill—a skill she learned from the amazing women in her family, like her aunt, Dame Lois Browne-Evans. Hear from Michele how Dame Browne-Evans, Bermuda’s first Black woman lawyer who also served as Attorney General, reinforced Michele’s commitment to community and equality. Join hosts Dee Martin and Yasmin Nelson as they chat with Michele about creating diverse spaces, mentoring the next generation, modernizing global philanthropy, and changing impossible to possible.
