Ep 25 | Education, Excellence And The Lie Of The American Dream Part 2
Excellence. Excellence in Education. Black Excellence. When the phone rings and the President of Morehouse College is on the other end saying you are the best woman for the job, you answer the call. In part 2 of our conversation, Dr. Nina Gilbert discusses how her role as the Director for the Center of Excellence at Morehouse College allows her to not only elevate the careers of Black men, but is helping to increase the percentage of Black educators in this country. Her motivation is clear - elevating, uplifting, inspiring and mentoring our youth will lead to the promise of tomorrow. From not planning on working in education to creating from scratch one of the highest performing schools in the state to leading the Center of Excellence in Education at the best liberal arts college in Georgia, it shows us sometimes your calling is greater than you ever could have imagined for yourself. Thank you Dr. Nina for your service, for sharing your experiences and inspiring us to dream and act bigger.
