A Conversation with LaDawn Sullivan By DR. ANGELIC COLE


Cover of The Acumen magazine, August 2025 issue, featuring LaDawn Sullivan smiling and wearing a sheer black top embroidered with floral patterns. Text on the cover reads: “Celebrating CBCC’s 40th Anniversary,” “FINAL ISSUE,” and “Transforming Black Philanthropy: A Conversation with LaDawn Sullivan by Dr. Angelic Cole.” Additional headlines include: “Weitz Bridges Workforce Gaps,” “A Farewell to The Acumen,” and “Flu Shots, the Brain, & Dementia.” The phrase “Black Resilience” is embroidered on LaDawn’s top. She is standing in front of a blurred painting with warm and cool tones.

As we celebrate Black Philanthropy Month 2025, The Acumen’s final issue features a powerful conversation with LaDawn Sullivan, Executive Director of the Black Resilience in Colorado (BRIC) Fund. With over 30 years of experience in philanthropy and community leadership, Sullivan shares her journey, the founding of the BRIC Fund, and her bold vision for equitable giving and transformative Black leadership. From honoring ancestral wisdom to challenging systemic inequities, Sullivan’s insights offer a blueprint for building lasting community power—BRIC by BRIC.
