This week I had the esteemed honor and privilege of being one of the recipients of Wedgwood Christian Services Diversity Award! In a time of great change, especially when it comes to DEI, it is reassuring to know that there are organizations who refuse to allow politics or uncertainty to shift their responsibility, accountability, and commitment to the real work! DEI is not a weakness. It is the very foundation of strength and the key to unlocking innovation and progress that MATTERS and makes a DIFFERENCE! “It doesn’t matter how strong your opinions are. If you don’t use your power for positive change, you are indeed part of the problem.” - Corretta Scott King
