They discuss their backgrounds, the journey of writing their book, and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in today's society. The conversation explores the intersection of faith and DEI, the role of wellness in promoting inclusion, and the historical context of DEI efforts. They also address critiques of DEI initiatives and emphasize the power of individual change agents in creating a more equitable society.</p><p></p><p>Book link: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://anandaleeke.com/drjohn/" target="_blank">http://anandaleeke.com/drjohn/</a></p><p></p><p><b>Chapters</b></p><p>06:01 The Journey to Writing 'American Change Agent'</p><p>10:57 The Connection Between Faith and DEI</p><p>17:49 Wellness and Its Role in DEI</p><p>21:54 Understanding Historical Context in DEI</p><p>28:10 Personal Experiences in the DEI Movement</p><p>34:45 Critiques of DEI and the Role of Change Agents</p><p></p><p>~~ <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://blackcatholicmessenger.org" target="_blank">https://blackcatholicmessenger.org</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://x.com/BlkCathlicMsngr" target="_blank">x.com/BlkCathlicMsngr</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://facebook.com/blackcatholicmessenger" target="_blank">facebook.com/blackcatholicmessenger</a><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/blackcatholicmessenger" target="_blank">instagram.com/blackcatholicmessenger</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/@blackcatholicmessenger" target="_blank">youtube.com/@blackcatholicmessenger</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://tiktok.com/@blackcatholicmessenger" target="_blank">tiktok.com/@blackcatholicmessenger</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://threads.com/blackcatholicmessenger" target="_blank">threads.com/blackcatholicmessenger</a></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://bsky.app/profile/blackcatholicmessenger.org" target="_blank">bsky.app/profile/blackcatholicmessenger.org</a></p><p>Make a tax-deductible donation to BCM @ <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://blackcatholicmessenger.org/donate" target="_blank">http://blackcatholicmessenger.org/donate</a></p>
