009: Diversity & Inclusion Part 2

Today, we’re joined by LaToya Burrell. She’s a licensed attorney in the state of Minnesota and she’s the academic dean of the graduate school at North Central University.  Although wearing multiple hats as a wife, mother, college dean and professor, attorney, and mentor, LaToya wrote her book, Be Bold: How to Prepare Your Heart and Mind for Racial Reconciliation in just two months.  Living and working close to the crime scene of George Floyd’s death, LaToya knew it was time to put an end to her silence – and use her time, her energy, her resources, and her platform to be bold and become that bridge to racial reconciliation. In this episode, you will hear: What led LaToya to write her book What you can do in the midst of racial injustice What prompted her to speak out after being quiet for a while Why this has become a political conversation What is an appropriate response? Why the messaging has become so convoluted The path forward to reconciliation   Subscribe and Review Share your thoughts and ideas with us and email me at stephen@experienceleadership.com.
