Quotes From This Episode

• "The National Leadership Symposium is not a conference... it is a small cohort of leadership educators from all around the nation that come together for an intensive learning experience."
• "This is an area I'm very passionate about: bringing diverse voices to the table in our field. I think that there's been a lack of opportunity for scholars from different backgrounds and different lived experiences, especially when it's trying to advance our conversations around what leadership is."
• "With the pandemic and the long-needed conversation around equity, racial justice, and social justice...we can't go back to what we were doing in 2019. And this is me just humbly trying to put that idea out there for our field. How are we going to adjust, shift, and change to ensure that we are representing, hearing, and inviting all communities to the table?"
