Dr. Patrice McClellan, president of The Ronald Group and renowned mentor of future leaders for more than 20 years, will explore what it means to bring your full self into your leadership at noon on Thursday, Oct. 21. She is the published author of “Herstories,” which analyzes the lives of black women activists and celebrates their valuable leadership skills that activists today can adapt and put into use.
And Diana Patton, a social justice advocate, attorney and author, will share strategies for how professional women can become their own advocates at noon on Thursday, Nov. 18. Motivated by an unexpected tragedy in her own life, Patton has become an expert on advocacy and self-care, and her program, RISE Advocates Academy, has changed the lives of countless women.
