Hi Dreamers and Doers! We believe you are NEVER too young to be a dreamer and NEVER too young to do your dream.
This week's episode is with Taylor Bishop. Taylor is a freshman at the University of Oklahoma and the current Miss Sooner State. Taylor is the founder of “Digging DEEPer into Diversity,” a social impact initiative that empowers individuals of all ages to dig DEEPer into diversity by discovering the issues faced by marginalized communities, evaluating their own awareness, educating themselves, and participating in solutions that help us secure better prospects for future generations. As a bi-racial young woman, she has been affected by the realities of racism. These experiences prompted her to encourage active, candid conversations about race and difference. She began her advocacy at 12 years old and has partnered with different organizations over the years like the Spero Project, Black Lives Matter OKC, Poetry and Chill, and Rose State College. This June, she will vie for the job of Miss Oklahoma at the Miss Oklahoma competition hosted at the River spirit resort in Tulsa.
