RALEIGH, N.C. — The United Way of the Greater Triangle is bringing back the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge, a virtual anti-poverty program that helps sponsors and supporters individually address issues of race, power, privilege and leadership.
Allyson Cobb is "the powerhouse" behind the challenge, said Devin Desjarlais, a United Way spokesperson.
Cobb, a former teacher-turned-nonprofit-worker, and a Black woman, says leading the challenge is a manifestation of "the work" — helping United Way achieve its goal of ending poverty through a racial equity lens.
