From Detroit’s roughest and proudest communities to elite boarding school in New England and college at Stanford University, I learned about culture shock early. I also learned that if I chose to, I could use my personal experiences to galvanize and educate others. For over 30 years, I have done just that. From police accountability and youth development in Oakland to preaching and teaching at Stanford, I have inspired, organized and educated over 50,000 students, teachers, boards, philanthropists and administrators in conferences, churches, community groups and corporate and educational institutions.
