On this Episode of the Transformational Leader Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Omekongo Dibinga. A motivational speaker, trilingual poet, musician, TV talk show host, and a professor…what doesn’t he do?! Also, an UPstander with a life mission to inspire all those across the globe to take a stand when they witness an injustice. With writings and appearances in places like O Magazine, as well as on TV and radio from CNN, BET, and the BBC to NPR, Music Choice. The list goes on and on about all of his accomplishments and it is truly an honor to have sat down with a transformational leader like himself.
 
We dove right into what brought Dr. Dibinga to his journey in leadership and got raw and deep. As he said to us “They say leaders aren’t born, they’re made.” He shared there were three challenges he faced as a child: being bullied, poor and growing up in a crack epidemic. Dealing with these challenges made him want to beat the statistic of failing. “One of the things I learned about being a leader is you got to reach people where they are.” It’s all about the connection and understanding the people you’re speaking with. Come listen along as we talk all about connections and how Dr. Dibinga got to where he is today!
