"People are like marbles, with a hard protective covering of the varied components inside that make them each a culture of one."
- Lenora Billings-Harris, CSP
Honestly, I cannot stress how much this presentation has impressed me. Despite it being advertised with such a distressingly bland title, it definitely had its merits.
The presenter at this practicum was Lenora Billing-Harris, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), diversity consultant and author of The Diversity Advantage: A Guide to Making Diversity Work. Taking an interesting approach by using Wizard of Oz characters as a metaphor, her presentation aimed to help CSULA students understand how they can use their brains, hearts, and courage to make a real difference in today’s multicultural world.
Considering the political climate that we are in, both at the national level and even here at our own University, I cannot imagine a better time to impress the value of diversity upon our student body. I would highly recommend that anyone who is interested in attending similar uprcoming events contact the PepsiCo Leadership Office
