“Broken Systems, Funded Silence: Deconstructing the Nonprofit-Gov Pipeline” – Part 1

In this explosive Part 1 of a two-part special, Resilient Voices & Beyond dives into one of the most underexamined yet critical realities in system reform: the nonprofit-to-government pipeline. Host Michael D. Davis-Thomas, nationally recognized advocate and Founder of MDDTSpeaks, sits down with two powerhouse changemakers—Bobbi Taylor, Founder & CEO of Proximate Solution, and Tamara Dillard, MSW, CSW, clinical therapist, policy influencer, and child welfare advocate—for an unfiltered, intellectually rigorous, and emotionally grounded conversation about how broken systems are not only funded but protected by silence.

We confront the sacred cows.
We name what’s often hushed.
We question whether systems are “broken”—or simply functioning as they were always designed to.
