Social Network: Chanda Smith Baker
Community leader, executive coach, and co-founder of The Black Collective, Minnesota’s first Black-led community foundation, Chanda Smith Baker recently left her post as chief impact officer and senior vice president of the Minneapolis Foundation.
And she took her popular podcast, Conversations with Chanda, with her. On it, she delves into issues that have been the cornerstones of her career: race, social justice, and philanthropy, with big-name guests like Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Isabel Wilkerson and WNBA champ Maya Moore. Follow Smith Baker on Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.
