There’s a lot of power in philanthropic work – it’s a way to dole out money to communities directly affected by issues, but it’s also an opportunity to reclaim our imagination. As we learn today, when public dollars are in the right hands, we're able to invest in our local communities, leverage change, and create a vibrant multiracial democracy. In this episode, Lemonada host and journalist Gloria Riviera chats with the president and CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation, Dr. Carmen Rojas, about the countless ways their investment is helping shape a society that works for everyday people.
This episode is presented by the Marguerite Casey Foundation. MCF supports leaders who work to shift the balance of power in their communities toward working people and families, and who have the vision and capacity for building a truly representative economy.

Introducing Archetypes, a refreshing and dynamic podcast where Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, dives into the labels that try to hold women back. During these intimate and candid conversations with guests from around the world, we discover how these archetypes impact our everyday lives in ways big and small. With experts and historians, Meghan also uncovers how we got here in the first place – unearthing the origin of words such as ‘diva’, ‘slut’, ‘the B word’, ‘hysterical’, and many more, and asks the question: can we change this?
In this episode, Meghan talks to the one and only Serena Williams about the double standard women face when they are labeled "ambitious" and the ripple effect this has on other aspects of their lives. This groundbreaking premiere episode also features Dr. Laura Kray, a leading expert on gender in the workplace.
