Repost from C-Tribe x Culture: Getting to know selfless leaders and changemakers like Alison Morgan at Black Talent Initiative's Ignite Conference was an absolute delight. As a leader at Scotiabank Alison demonstrates Ubuntu in her daily work by showing up for young people in her organization and helping to guide them in meaningful ways.
