075 Overcoming being unseen, unheard, misjudged, and misunderstood

Standing for diversity, equality, equity, and inclusion by showing everyone respect because they deserve it, being willing and able to walk the "tightrope" while staying true to you, and - among other things - expanding your horizons by asking why, and making the time to share with and create space for others We tap into the experience-driven wisdom of D. John Jackson, a Fortune 50 corporate leader who's memoir, What About Me: Walking the Tightrope as a Black Man in America, shares a simple, powerful message: Your life matters. Your dreams matter. And you can achieve them, no matter who you are or where you're starting out. John's insights and convictions were collected specifically to support young black men and boys, but truly are universal in their value. When we are fully appreciated, when we all come together through stories of success and hope, this country will finally reach its fullest potential.
