At 31, #SymoneSanders has charted a remarkable career crafting campaign strategy and advising on policy at the highest level of #Americanpolitics — and as a #Blackwoman from North Omaha, Nebraska, she has done so with the odds stacked against her. On January 16, 2021, Sanders joined Ben Allen, Executive Director of The Equity Center at the @University of Virginia in a conversation about navigating the “-isms”, the opportunities and limitations of #DEI work, and how building more responsive #careerpipelines is the future of #economicopportunity. Pick up a copy of her new book, “No, You Shut Up: Speaking Truth to Power and Reclaiming America” at your local bookseller.
