Happy MLK day to all of you. Dr. King was an amazing man that taught love and peace while trying to move civil rights forward for so many less fortunate people in this country. Unfortunately, many of his teachings have not been followed, especially in corporate America. So many companies will post quotes from the late Civil Rights activist, but their moneys and actions will not follow in the same footsteps. This needs to change.
On this week's show, I welcome Quila Pugh to speak on these specific topics. Quila and I met a few months ago after she organized a great discussion about Native Americans and I was immediately hooked on her message and perseverance. On this show, we discuss the empty promises of some of the larger companies in America that see diversity and inclusion as a nice thing to put in a posting but not really worth throwing effort into. We talk about how this affects her and others that look and feel like her.
I can honestly say this was one of my favorite discussions since starting this show. Quila is not only accurate in her descriptions but also passionate and we could all learn a lot from her.
