In this episode, we invited Michael Hicks, assistant professor of education at Centenary College of Louisiana, to join us. Michael talks to us about his role as an educator of future educators and how he teaches leadership techniques. He created the “Teach, Speak, Create” model in an effort to inspire himself and others to be effective leaders, especially through the lenses of diversity, inclusion, and equity in K-12 and higher education. Michael concludes with a discussion about the experiences and the values that continue to propel him to be authentic, to champion fairness, and to advocate for justice.
