243 E. Beverly Young: Speak My Name in the Room

E. Beverly Young speaks her truths about gender and race prejudices in the workplace and larger society. She entered professional policing 50 years ago, one of few women in a male-dominated field. During her 26 years in uniform, Beverly achieved the rank of Lieutenant and become a certified police instructor for police training academies throughout the state of Pennsylvania.  Beverly earned her doctorate at age 60, supplementing field experience with academic inquiry.  In 2014 she formed her own company, writing evidence-based training curriculum for police departments. Beverly is also a prolific writer who confronts racism head on, with honesty and levity. Through blogs and books, Beverly voices her observations about society’s hypocrisy and discrimination against gender and race. Her new podcast, Help Me Change the Narrative, is coming soon.  People might see me as a woman of color with some age on her; instead, I want them to see my accomplishments, what I am capable of doing.Connect with BeverlyEmail: Ebyphd2010@gmail.comWebsite: https://ebevyyg.comRecent book: Social Change is More Than an Oops!
