Episode 41 - With Great HBCU Power, Comes Greater Responsibility: DEIBJ, College Counseling and Parenthood

This is what educational leadership looks like. As a fourth-generation educator and DEIJ practitioner and strategist, Danica Tisdale Fisher is fascinating. With over 15 years of experience in the development and oversight of academic programs, policies, and initiatives in higher education and independent schools, she currently serve as Dean of Inclusion and Belonging at St. Andrew's School in Delaware. After earning a B.A. from Spelman, a M.A. from Temple, a Ph.D. in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Emory, she is an educational powerhouse. Her interdisciplinary work includes extensive study of African American literature, feminist theories, and popular cultural studies.  Isn’t that enough?!!! No. Dr. Fisher is the daughter of the former president of Claflin University (SC), a past participant in the Miss America Program and the first African American woman to win the Miss Georgia Pageant in 2004. We had the pleasure of interviewing this extraordinary wife, mother, member of AKA, The Links and Jack and Jill (whew!!!) who shared her perspective on education, parenting and race. Listen and love. ❤️
