At the start of May, Khalilah sat down for a conversation with historians Jill Lepore and Jon Meacham. The conversation was titled “Lessons from History,” and it came at a time when a lot was going on in U.S. politics. In just the past week there had been gunshots fired outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondents' Dinner was being held, a Supreme Court ruling that impacted the Voting Rights Act and developments that continued to shape the Iran war. It also came at a notable time for Jill Lepore: just three days after the conversation, she was announced as this year's winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History. Jon Meacham also won a Pulitzer Prize back in 2009. The event was the final discussion of The Connecticut Forum’s 34th season. We enjoyed hearing from these award-winning historians so much that we decided to extend the conversation to two episodes. If you like what you hear today, you can hear more next week. GUESTS: Jill Lepore: the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker and bestselling author. Her books include These Truths: A History of the United States and We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution.

She models heart-led leadership and relationship-building with a deep commitment to ensuring students never feel like a bother—only seen, valued, and supported. Find out why asking for help, admitting “I don't know,” and understanding that seeking support is actually a strength, not a weakness. ⁠ Dr. Doss completed her Ph.D. in Educational Administration and Higher Education at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and she received her Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics, Finance and Marketing at McKendree University. She has been in the field of student affairs for over 20 years and most recently served as the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). In this capacity, Dr. Doss had oversight for a portfolio of units that are germane to the successful transition, support, and engagement of the students who call MTSU home.

HR is not typically thought of as a sexy department. Many of us associate HR with paperwork, procedures, and policies. Khalilah Olokunola is radically redefining the perception of HR and its potential impact, not only within our companies but also in our communities and the world at large. In this new Powerful Ladies Podcast episode, we discuss how leading people share so many parallels to ministry, examine the evolving landscape of HR, and why it can be a powerful gift to empower people and transform their self-perception.

Seldom do we come across a story as astonishing and inspiring as that of our guest Khalilah Olokunola, who transformed a troubled past into a beacon of hope and empowerment. Kalilah's journey from the streets of Brooklyn to a prison cell, and eventually to the boardrooms of the corporate world, is a testament to her unwavering resilience and determination.  Khalilah is an extraordinary human, HR executive, community leader, and now business owner - for the 6th time - and the story of her life, to date, is so completely inspiring. Our conversation with Kalilah takes you through her inspiring journey and the wisdom she gleaned along the way. She recounts how a simple letter from her father gave her the strength to persevere, and how her role as a Chief People Officer at a startup with a mission to unite gang rivals shaped her perspective on life. In her current endeavor, Re-Engineering HR, she helps companies thrive by prioritizing people, purpose, and profit.  You won't want to miss our conversation as we discuss the impactful work that Kalilah does through her company, Re-Engineering HR. She reveals how she helps organizations prevent problems by identifying internal icebergs before they cause damage. She'll also introduce you to her Alphabet Audit tool, which measures people and practices, and her Serve Principle training. Finally, you'll hear about her upcoming book, set to release in 2024. This episode is filled with inspiration, resilience, and valuable insights that will leave you empowered and ready to create change! Topics Discussed In Today's Episode: Resilience and determination can turn even the harshest experiences into opportunities for growth and impact. HR isn't just about managing people; it's about transforming lives, building communities, and driving meaningful change. Embracing educational opportunities, learning from industry veterans, and not being afraid to take on challenges are keys to growth in the HR field. For companies to thrive, leaders must rely on the wisdom of their partners and employees, maintain transparency, and communicate effectively. Effective HR practice involves being proactive, aligning decisions with values, and being purpose-driven. The Power of ‘D.I.R.T.Y. HR' - being divergent, intentional, responsible, trustworthy, and focused on your 'why'. Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
