Happy Pride Month and Happy Juneteenth! Both celebrations commemorate the relentless pursuit of liberation, honoring the places we've been and progress we've made while pushing for continued change. In this episode, we're serving Funder-Frontline Realness in welcoming Zeke Christopoulos, our new Director of Mindful Operations & Finance. As a Middle Eastern, Jewish, queer, trans person, Zeke brings a depth of intersectional personal and professional experiences to Tzedek.

Get to know Zeke in this candid conversation offering a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of visibility and representation within minoritized communities. This Big Talk goes deep, from touching on the pressures and privileges of passing to building a culture of mutual accountability and support. The result is a compelling narrative of hope, resilience, and healing in the collective quest for acceptance, inclusion, and belonging.

Get comfortable and prepare to receive a gift of inspiration as we ride this dialogue forward and toward greater equity, equality, and justice. 


We'll see you same time, same place next month. Until then, peace.
