Too often we see beautifully written diversity and inclusion statements on company websites, but they’re rarely practiced. Colin D. Lord joined Threewalls at a crucial time where we had to address anti-racism and explore how we could fully serve the ALAANA/BIPOC  artistic community from within. I bring Colin on to the show to reflect over what he’s learned at Threewalls over the past four years, while he is taking a hiatus from his board membership.  Colin has a lot of experience across the country working in non-profit work and education, and it’s his mission to address issues around disparity of education. Tune in to our conversation as we discuss educational access, supporting black women in leadership, Colin’s “not on my watch” mantra, the power of humour – and going to the same high school as Rihanna.Links and resources mentioned:<a href="https://www.abetterchance.org/">A Better Chance</a><a href="https://three-walls.org/podcasts/episode4/">004: Quality Attracts Quality with Devin Mathews</a><a href="https://students.colum.edu/deps/glass-curtain-gallery/">Glass Curtain Gallery</a><a href="https://three-walls.org/">Threewalls</a>
