.@TriciaRaikes & I had a great time hosting @satyanadella at Nebraska’s @RaikesSchool & even more fun getting him on the corn planter at the family farm! Our convo sparked my curiosity about the digital transformation of American agriculture & I'm excited for what lies ahead

“You know, racist is not a fixed term. It's not an identity. It's not a tattoo. It is describing what a person is doing in the moment, and people change from moment to moment.” This is such an important point from @DrIbram. npr.org/2019/08/14/751…

We all know that #AhmaudArbery would be alive if he was white, and that should make all of us sick. The more we turn a blind eye to racism, the more this kind of senseless tragedy will occur. We need #JusticeforAhmaud. #BlackLivesMatter

My latest @Forbes column was inspired by a conversation with @AnandWrites about zero-sum thinking, and what philanthropists and people with privilege like me can do to make room for others at the decision-making table. #equity bit.ly/2wYP0tw

Fellow Huskers raise up your voices and support @u_nebraska! Please read @OWHnews bit.ly/2Buzrxc - I completely agree with this PoV. @RaikesSchool is a great example of the impact of investing in Nebraska's higher education!

In @Forbes, I call on those who have profited from systemic inequality — CEOs and philanthropic leaders — to listen to the individuals who have been most harmed by it. Discover how shifting from #GenerosityToJustice can transform society: bit.ly/2WEl4iA

Learning the difference btwn equality and equity has completely changed the way I approach philanthropy. For my first column in @Forbes, I’ve chosen to write about how centering equity in gov., business, philanthropy can help us build a more just society. bit.ly/2HaHVwd

Across the country, access to the ballot box is being threatened by a raft of voter suppression laws, so this interview with @BlackVotersMtr's @MsLaToshaBrown couldn’t be better timed. We can't wait any longer to listen, learn, and act.

My friend Paul Allen was a great innovator who never settled for anything less than extraordinary. He leaves behind an incredible legacy, and I know that I won't be the last to be inspired by his generosity. Our hearts are with Paul’s family. raikesfoundation.org/blog/posts/jef…
