#341- Building A Nonprofit From Scratch with Dr. Nastassia Harris

This week on Nonprofit Lowdown, I sit down with the phenomenal Dr. Nastassia Harris (@perinatalhealthequity) to talk about her journey from professor and nurse to full-time founder and CEO of the Perinatal Health Equity Initiative.

We talk about:

✅ Making the leap into nonprofit leadership

✅ Facing fears around fundraising & salary

✅ “Burning the ships” and doing it scared

✅ Why YOU are the bottleneck in your org (and how to stop it)

✅ Building a donor base that actually cares

✅ Hiring lessons every founder needs to hear

This is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered if they can turn their mission into a sustainable movement. Nastassia did—and she's sharing how. 💜
