DEI Work Isnt Done in a Silo
"My parents were born to sharecroppers in Southern Georgia. (They) would have to miss school to pick cotton during harvest season. I saw these messages of bias, racism, and oppression, even as a child...Whatever environment you're in there's a label that is either thrust upon you or that you cling to for recognition. So, I've always been intrigued by this work.\xa0When you\u2019re imbued with empathy\u2026 when you see injustice around you, you can either be part of the solution or part of the problem. And my goal is to be part of the solution."
