Hello and welcome to the Women Leaders Podcast. I’m your host,
Patti Phillips…
Today we honor and celebrate Juneteenth - the day that enslaved
black Americans in Texas became free. Juneteenth gives us an
opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come and how far we still
have to go.
In this episode, we take you back to a vital conversation that took
place at our 2022 National Convention in Kansas City, where Dr.
Angel Mason, Director of Athletics at Berry College and one of our
Women of Color Circle Leads, sat down with Colorado College
President L. Song Richardson, for an honest discussion about race
and gender.
President Richardson, a legal scholar, lawyer, and expert on
implicit racial and gender bias, has dedicated her career to civil
rights and equity.
These two women leaders tap into the importance of celebrating the
victories, but also point out the challenges still ahead, and why
we need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Let’s dive into this important conversation…and remember, We Are Women Leaders.
