Learning the systematic nature of racial injustice and how white cultural dominance permeates organizational culture can leave leaders; specifically, White leaders, with many daunting tasks.  Before figuring out what to do with racial injustice, leaders have to struggle with their own personal acknowledgment and the accompanying feelings of guilt and insecurity. Watch the replay of our very own Assistant Dean, Seanté Hatcher, LCSW-C as she interviews Julie Smithwick, MSW and Community Health Worker (CHW) on how she - a White social worker and ally within a Latinx Community- became the Founder and Executive Director of a statewide Latinx-focused community-based organization. Mrs. Smithwick will discuss what it took to be a leader in a community that was not culturally her own and the importance of being a mindful leader who is open, vulnerable, and willing to listen.  Julie will also discuss how she prepared her staff and the community for her decision to step down as the organization’s Executive Director in order to ensure racial and cultural representation.
