“Diversity is
about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk
through this world together. “ (Jaqueline
Woodson).
“Don't let your age or ethnicity get in the way
of your achievement. Your ethnicity is one of your assets and you
are as youthful as you feel." (Dr. Gaye Lang)
I met today's guest, Dr. Gaye Lang, when we
were both in the process of launching our respective podcasts and
we agreed that our age was no impediment to learning new skills and
taking on new challenges.
Dr. Gaye Lang is the president and founder of Workplace
Restorative Practices, Inc. Her D.I.E.T strategy of Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and
Tolerance, reduces the possibility of workplace disputes leading to
lawsuits and other unfavorable outcomes.
Dr. Lang earned a doctorate in education
research and cultural studies from the University of Houston.
She honed her leadership and
relationship-building skills while serving as the Secretary
Regional Representative for the White House. She is the
author of Colorizing
Restorative Justice: Voicing Our Realities, which won the Benjamin Franklin Silver
Award, and of Seven:
A Sorority's Story. She hosts the Workplace Diversity
podcast, which focuses on (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and
Tolerance).
Our conversation begins with Dr.
Lang sharing her story of
what shaped you in to the powerful teacher and advocate she is
today. We discuss the power of mentorship and
her five African-American
mentors, all men, but who recognized her ability and guided her
career. She passes
on her strategies for
overcoming challenges and aging well.
