Join us for a special month-long series of conversations celebrating Black History Month, highlighting historic and current black leaders and their journeys to success, particularly women of color. Our initial speaker, Professor Chris Schmidt, will discuss his book on the historic sit-ins, and subsequent speakers will discuss their role models, how they have used their experiences to empower and give voice to their communities, and how racial differences continue to influence each of us.
Rita Roberts-Turner, Chief Administrative Officer at Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority (WeGo Public Transit) and State Representative Karen D. Camper (Tennessee District 87) share their insider tips on how to get a seat at the table and best practices for positioning yourself as a thought leader.
