Hilary Giovale is a writer, community organizer, speaker and reparative philanthropist, and has served on boards for philanthropic, human rights, and environmental organizations. For most of her life, her origins were obscured by the delusion of whiteness until she learned a painful reality: her family's occupation of this land harmed Indigenous and African peoples and cultures. Divesting from whiteness, she bridges divides with truth, healing, apology, and forgiveness. She follows Indigenous and Black leadership supporting human rights, environmental justice, and equitable futures.
