A: Every single sector we look at in society — who’s in positions of some sort of leadership or power — there’s always underrepresentation of folks of color. That’s something that we want to change. I would love to see it in philanthropy, especially seeing folks of color who really understand the issues, have seen them firsthand, who have done work on the ground. Because then when you come to the philanthropic side, you really have an understanding of why and how the work is being done. When I was looking for work, a lot of positions required a master’s degree. And even though I have the experience of being an executive director for six years, running an organization from finances and human resources to the leadership of the organization, that doesn’t matter until you have certain credentials. We need to look at the disinvestment in communities of color and the education pipeline. How do we invest in them? But also just thinking about different types of leadership. Being a program officer, anybody can do the role. When I was an executive director, I would tell workers you could be the executive director of this organization — you’re a leader in the organization, you understand the organization, you know the work, because you’ve been on the ground, being workers in other positions where they’re helping run the organization. I was like, you can do it. Everybody is capable of doing it. I think we need to demystify this idea of professionalism and what professionalism means in order to open the doors for more people to come to the workforce, not only philanthropy.

Just under five hours west of Paradise, we saw two falls in Keweenaw: Jacob’s Falls, just a few feet off the road, and Douglass Houghton Falls outside Calumet. While the latter is not yet open to the public and is difficult to get to, it is Michigan’s tallest waterfall at 110 feet high. Near Munising, located between Keweenaw and Paradise, we saw falls from the boat ride at Pictured Rocks and also Munising Falls and Wagner Falls, both easy to get to and worth a visit.

While some parents have questioned if they should get their younger children vaccinated, as most do not experience serious illness from the virus, Bartlett said, “most is not all,” adding that thousands of children have been hospitalized from COVID-19.

Dear Headaches: If your baby is due around Christmas, it might be wisest for you not to bring a newborn into a crowded house for an extended stay. Newborns are extremely portable, but the early days are an ideal time for the parents to hunker down, love on their new child, and adjust to parenthood.

Waiting until the plants are fully leafed-out and cutting them back to ground level in spring, and then covering with plastic, will have more negative impact on the goutweed. Waiting until later in summer, as you did in August, can be less effective, as the goutweed would have built up more food reserves in the roots by that time of year. You did take the right steps to clear out the goutweed.

I believe a multi-pronged approach would help you, including a clinical assessment regarding your depression, individual counseling, peer support from other first responders, and mindfulness work on your own (meditation, movement, and spending time each day in nature).

It’s also critically important to remember the weather. Despite a few spectacular storms, “this has been a very dry year,” Janoski said. With a changing climate, unpredictable extremes of weather — such as rain that comes only in occasional bursts, with drought in between — are becoming more common.

“Jocelyn,” his business partner of 25 years, has become close to the family over the years. Sharon tells me that Jocelyn occasionally spends the night at their house when there is an upcoming business meeting in our area, since she lives quite a distance away. They all seem to enjoy one another’s company.
