Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead book cover

I was honored to join a group of Richmonders that Marc Cheatham of The Cheats Movement assembled to discuss black history and leadership.  He asked some thought-provoking questions that I hope will spark a broader community dialogue and fuel greater collaboration and progress.  Check out the teaser below to see some of our non-answers.

Enjoy!
