What does it take to turn a “no” into a movement? This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and Kevin sit down with Lucas Pimentel, founder of Latinos for Educational Advocacy and Diversity (LEAD), to unpack how one man's fight for educational equity sparked a statewide transformation.Lucas was just a teacher when he decided to help a group of parents bring a charter school to Danbury, Connecticut—a city where 68% of students are Latino but lacked this crucial option. When the project was blocked by a legislator, something clicked. With no nonprofit experience, but a fire in his gut, he stepped into advocacy with nothing but a vision, a Canva logo, and a mission to unify Latino voices.From drafting LEAD's logo on a Starbucks napkin to opening a fully operational community center in Danbury in 2021, Lucas has grown the organization into a powerhouse with seven locations across Connecticut—and plans for more. LEAD provides everything from financial literacy to civic engagement workshops, ESL classes, and health education. Born in the Dominican Republic, raised with political legacy and personal loss, Lucas' story is one of passion, persistence, and purpose. He's redefining what advocacy looks like—and proving that when you can't get a seat at the table, you build your own.Tune in as the MissionCTRL crew explores how grassroots activism, strategic storytelling, and relentless belief can create systems-level change. If you're fired up about education, entrepreneurship, and empowering underrepresented communities, this is an episode you can't miss.•••Find full episodes of Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website.Mission CTRL aims to ignite the innovative spirit inside us all through providing budding and successful entrepreneurs and community leaders with a platform to share their stories and inspire others.

In this episode, you'll hear the extraordinary journey of Jenni Lewis, a trailblazing leader in diversity, equity and inclusion, who turned every setback into a stepping stone. From starting her career in the mailroom at J.P. Morgan to becoming the Global Inclusion and Diversity Lead at Block, Jenni has built a career defined by bold moves, reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. She shares how she took a leap from finance to marketing, launched a podcast before podcasting was mainstream, and even faced professional consequences for daring to center LGBTQ+ voices. Along the way, she learned that embracing discomfort and failing forward are the true catalysts for growth. Jenni also opens up about a life-altering wake-up call—a helicopter crashing onto her office building—that forced her to rethink her career, relationships, and purpose. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, stepping into leadership, or looking for the courage to take that next big risk, this episode will challenge and inspire you to rethink failure and see it as an essential part of success.

About Dr. Jean Accius and CHC: Creating Healthier Communities: None of us achieves success or feels fulfilled on our own. I came to this country as an immigrant when I was four years old. One lesson my grandmother taught me was the Haitian Creole proverb, “Tout moun, se moun,” which means, “every person is a human being.” I learned at an early age how important it is to think bigger than myself. Meaning, it's important to always remember who your work is for, the impact you can have on others, and that you need to get out of your comfort zone to do more, do better, and do good for others. As President & CEO of Creating Healthier Communities, I lead a team of the best and brightest in addressing the barriers to health and creating solutions that build a solid foundation to ensure people have more time on this planet. More time healthy, more time learning and earning, and more time spent with those they love. It's the antithesis of American values that it's not your genetic code that determines how long you'll live, it's your ZIP code. There is tremendous opportunity for both the public and private sectors to build bold and transformative solutions that support a more equitable future. I have a strong history of transforming organizations, building high-performing teams and forming strategic partnerships across industries to scale for impact and accelerate the pace of change. For example, I cultivated a major partnership between three organizations—Meritus Health, Luminis Heath, and AARP—to form, Leaders in Equity and Diversity (LEAD), a multisector collaborative to address health disparities by 2024. This 30+ organization collaborative across seven states, collectively serve nearly 9 million patients annually with immediate positive and measurable impact. The Health Services Cost Review Commission, which sets hospital payment rates in Maryland, has issued guidance that by the end of CY 2026, 50 percent of hospitals will have reduced their racial and sociodemographic disparities in hospital quality outcomes by 50 percent. It is a privilege to work on addressing the barriers to health and health equity—with the goal of creating resilient communities where everyone can thrive. CHC: Creating Healthier Communities brings nonprofits, businesses and communities together to improve community health. Our focus is health equity, addressing underlying issues and removing barriers so everyone can thrive. Our work is driven by community need, and we direct programs, resources and support where they have the greatest impact. Together with partners, we've been creating healthier communities for more than 65 years. Join us at chcimpact.org or @chcimpact.

In this episode, Lashun speaks with host Christian Solorzano about growing up in Chicago, high school, the power of finding your “creative tribe,” Emory Douglas, diversity and inclusion, leadership, mentorship, and more.

Demystifying diversity, equity and inclusion – what does it really look like? You might have heard the terms diversity, equity and inclusion at work, in newspapers or in conversations about leadership. But what might be harder to work out is what to do about it. Why does future-facing leadership require us to develop our inclusive leadership skills? What does doing a good job at diversity, equity and inclusion really look like? What principles and skills can we use to improve our workplaces, employee experiences and attract a diverse range of customers? Host Helen Babb Delia (Development Partner at RMIT FORWARD) discusses these questions and more with Khayshie Tilak Ramesh, Inclusion & Diversity Lead at Mecca, lawyer, board director, speaker and writer.

In this episode, we present the Critical Race Theory (CRT) panel that took place on October 15, 2021 during the 47th American Association for Access, Equity and Diversity (AAAED) National Conference & Annual Meeting—themed Reset, Reflect, and Move toward Justice, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence.   Moderated by your host Dr. Jamal Watson, this discussion breaks down the origins of CRT and its re-emergence as a tool for those who seek to attack diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.    Panelists include:  Dr. Christopher Metzler, Chair, LEAD Fund  Janai Nelson, Esq., NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc.  Dr. William Harvey, AAAED Distinguished Scholar  Dr. Nicholas Gaffney, Director, Center for African American Studies, Assistant Professor, History University of South Carolina Upstate  Margo R. Foreman M.P.H., Sr. CAAP, Interim Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Iowa State University   KEY POINTS: What is critical race theory?  The intense scrutiny around CRT - why now? How the CRT backlash is affecting higher education institutions and their scholars  Reframing and reshaping the narrative around CRT The need for leadership and the role of the federal government    QUOTABLES:  “Critical race theory is so bothersome to so many people because it challenges the historical narrative that we would like to believe - that everybody is treated fairly and equally and always has been.”    “Academia is supposed to be a free market of ideas. It's the whole point. It is not to indoctrinate. We're providing people with tools, and they make their own decisions.”    PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: diverseeducation.com Or follow us on social media: Twitter: twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: facebook.com/DiverseJobs?_rdc=1&_rdr Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education In The Margins is produced by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education and edited by Instapodcasts (visit at instapodcasts.com)

It is both the desire to maintain power and the fear of losing power.""A more secure and happy person is a more tolerant person. You can reduce prejudice simply by feeling good, calm, and secure."“Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or groups based on race or ethnicity.”"Prejudice is an attitude-a set of internal beliefs, feelings, and preferences. Discrimination refers to actual behaviors, decisions, and outcomes."Dr. Livingston's WebsiteWebsite: https://robertwlivingston.com/Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeArticle: Scholarship reconsidered: Priorities of the professoriate by BoyerBook:  Immunity to Change by Robert Kegan & Lisa LaheyBook: The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGee About The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership. Connect with Scott AllenWebsite
