Nathaniel Smith, Founder & Chief Equity Officer of the Partnership for Southern Equity

Nathaniel Smith works to advance just outcomes that are sensitive to the needs and circumstances of communities — erasing the barriers that stand in the way of success to create the conditions in which all people can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. This fundamental philosophy has transformed the Partnership for Southern Equity into the premier organization in the country that focuses solely on racial equity, through its portfolios of Just Energy, Just Growth, Just Health, Just Opportunity, Just Solutions, and frontline community organizers who build the civic bench strength for advancing racial equity.
