Jennie and Dianne kick off 2023 by answering many questions posed by their listeners over the course of the previous year. They begin this two-part episode by covering the legal definition of an abandoned cemetery and how this definition determines either the survival or removal of a burial ground. They delve in to what to do should you accidentally excavate a burial site, especially if that site belongs to Native Americans. And finally, they cover the topic of cemetery grants including those provided by the Veterans Association (VA) to ensure that US military veterans receive a respectful burial.

 Welcome to season 2, episode 28 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.

This week my guest is Vu Le, author of the blog www.NonprofitAF.com and sought-after speaker.

Not knowing that not-for-profit work was going to be his calling, he received a BA in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. After working as the ED of RVC, a non-profit in Seattle, Vu now travels across the country sharing his insight and speaks to how the not-for-profit sector really needs to own its incredible power. We have an honest conversation about how sometimes funders have an unrealistic view of how the sector works. People who work for not-for-profits need to make a salary, yet in many cases admin costs cannot be written into grants.

Vu uses a great analogy here about a fire hose and water. He teaches me a new word that was taught to him – bizsplaining. Shares his rule of thirds when it comes to not-for-profit boards.

We talk neurodiversity, judgement, and creating happy and healthy working environments within in a sector that is continuously stressed and looked at through a microscope. A sector that is more than just needed, it is necessary!

So, why is a unicorn potentially the mascot of the non-profit sector? Vu mentions that maybe it should be a platypus instead.

Listen in to hear the footprint that Vu is creating now that he wants to leave behind.

Next week my guests are Coley Campany and Kim Berrios Lin. Both Coley and Kim are in the entertainment industry. We take some time here to discuss the importance of women’s rights as Coley has a very personal story to share. Another topic that we touch on is how predominate eating disorders can be in the entertainment industry.
