James Woodson (He/His)
Co-Founder and Executive Director
“Anti-Blackness fuels inequality, yet philanthropy often imposes solutions instead of empowering those most affected. This project is a chance to shift from harm reduction to real systemic change.”
Leading Edge Idea
James Woodson’s Leading Edge idea is to launch The Poetic Justice Initiative, which will build Black narrative power in California by creating sustainable infrastructure for Black communities to tell their own stories; promote racial healing; and uplift Black strength, pride, and resilience.
