James Earl Jones is one of the greatest voices of all time.
Deep, warm, powerful. He voiced two of the most iconic characters in film history:
Mufasa, in The Lion King — the gentle, wise protector
Darth Vader, in Star Wars — the villain whose voice made you shiver
Same voice. Two very different uses.
That got us thinking: Raiser has a voice too. And it matters how we use it.
As an independent platform, our job isn’t just to automate or accelerate a fundamentally inequitable system.
It’s to speak up. To challenge what isn’t working. To protect what matters. To roar when needed. To guide with wisdom. To stand up for the small, the overlooked, the ones doing the work.
And sometimes, to take a giant red lightsaber to broken systems and start tearing them down. 🤣
We wrote a bit more about this in our first ever opinion blog, launching today.
A bit of the wisdom of Mufasa, a bit of the force of Vader. And it might just help you see grant funding in a new light
