Praise for Ask, Listen, Act: "Luz Vega-Marquis taps into her immigrant background and the struggles of her family, channels her experiences in social justice, and asserts deep and meaningful listening and engaging of community leadersto lift a new way forward for organized philanthropy. Her message: if philanthropy is to be successful in addressing structural inequality, remember that heart, courage, storytelling, and humility will carry far more impact value than intellectual rigor and clever analysis." Robert K. Ross MD, president and CEO of the California Endowment
"Ever since I met Luz about fifteen years ago I became enthralled by her personal story of womanhood, activism, and leadership. I asked her to talk about herself more often but Luz said no, the attention needed to be on working families. I am thrilled that now Luz has finally shared her story of power-hood with the world. On many occasions I would ask myself 'what would Luz do?' This book provides many answers and lessons. Luz taught me, and this book reinforces, the concept of power and humility existing in leadership at the same time." Maria Hinojosa, anchor and executive producer, Latino USA on National Public Radio
"Ask, Listen, Act beautifully intertwines personal narrative, social history, and the story of the Marguerite Casey Foundation to explore and celebrate family in all its dimensions. Luz Vega-Marquis asks us to imagine what we could achieve together if we see the health and welfare of children and families as a mirror to the health and welfare of our society. This moving book is a blueprint for how we can bring about a just world through a loving, expansive, and inclusive view of families and their power as vehicles for change." Ai-jen Poo, executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and author of The Age of Dignity
"Twenty years ago, Luz blew into my life with her deep compassion, amazing creativity and heart the size of a washtub. She stood philanthropy on its head, asking grantees what they needed rather than telling them what they needed. This book about her incredible life is a must-read." Representative Pat Schroeder, Colorado's 1st District (19731997)
"Luz Vega-Marquis is a bold leader who joined philanthropy with a vision to reinvent it. Her journey from a Nicaraguan village to becoming the first Latinx leader for a large philanthropy shows why reflective leadership matters. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about racial and economic equity." Nichole June Maher, president and CEO, Group Health Foundation
