The Giving Black Podcast
The Giving Black Podcast promotes Black philanthropy and spotlights generosity in all its forms in the global Black community.
Listen to interviews that honour the culture and tradition of giving among Black people from the African continent, to the Caribbean, Europe, the Americas and across the globe.
I am your host, Olumide Akerewusi. Here's a bit about me: I am Founder and CEO of agentsC Inc., an international company delivering fundraising, philanthropy, and social change solutions to organizations across the world. I've spent 30 years working with major philanthropists, corporations, and grant-making foundations as well as charities to grow their impact. I am also a Black philanthropist.
I hope you enjoy this podcast, which will serve as an archive of wonderful and inspiring stories about Black generosity.

...And...We're Back...!
"Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening Giving Black Family, Wherever In The World You Are." I have missed speaking those words!
In 2023 we produced 13 Episodes in Series One of The Giving Black Podcast. In 2024, we made one Special recording. Half way through 2025, I am sharing my first Giving Black podcast in almost a year!
Sometimes our own thoughts play a role in inhibiting our potential. Knowing that our current global and political climate calls for more debate and discussion about Black philanthropy. I share how I overcame some of my own self-inflicted barriers to striking dialogue about the ongoing need for generosity in Black communities.
I hope you enjoy this episode and will share it with your friends and family. If you have ideas for guests who should appear on The Giving Black Podcast, please DM me on LinkedIn or leave a message at the Giving Black website: www.givingblack.ca
