The 'Dreaming in Color' podcast gets a second season, bringing more wisdom from BIPOC leaders
The podcast shares the knowledge and experiences of diverse successful leaders.
The Bridgespan Group recently announced the arrival of season two of Dreaming in Color, with new episodes recorded in 2022 and hosted by Darren Isom, a partner from the firm's San Francisco office. Episode one of season two is out now.
The podcast is defined as a space for leaders of color to share how they have harnessed their unique assets, skills, and rich experiences to demonstrate excellence, drive impact, and develop a definition of success in the social sector that is candid, inclusive, and community-based.
This season deepens the conversations we began last year with a broader set of voices joining the chorus, exploring the compelling themes teed up in the first season but from many more vantage points.
New guests
The new season of Dreaming in Color, which has a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts, explores how the professional trajectories of the guests have been shaped by their identities, including their personal and community backgrounds, religious beliefs, maternity, and more.
Isom, who has roots in New Orleans and experience as a Black queer leader in the social sector, invites listeners to “embrace these leaders’ ingenuity, learn from their wisdom and wit, reflect on their words with authenticity and humor, and listen with the intent to collectively strive to do better.”
