Relatively Normal - S5 - Ep128 - More Than One Month with Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis

Relatively Normal

I could have brought a black guest on to talk about February but that song and dance is played out. I could have told everyone that I am going to focus on poverty, police brutality, the unbalanced school system and other things plaguing the black community during Black History Month, but that is so 2022. From now on, I am continuing the conversation throughout the entire year. That is why I invited Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis to chat with me. Dr. Dennis is an activist, sociologist and criminologist, educator, and researcher. As founder of 365 Diversity, Dr. Dennis helps change policies and practices, curriculum and courses, and evaluations and assessments for K-12 schools, colleges and universities, businesses, human resources offices, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and communities. Emphasis is placed on supporting and protecting people with underserved and minoritized identities and experiences. A range of demographics and cultures captured include race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language and communication, mental health, physical health, self-harm and suicide, disability, reproductive health and freedom, and sexual health and freedom. Born and raised in the city of Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Dennis lived in North Carolina to attain the doctorate and as college faculty. Dr. Dennis now lives in the city of Baltimore, Maryland and connects with local, national, and international communities, schools, businesses, and organizations. Services provided are listed on the 365 Diversity website and include curriculum change sessions, policy change sessions, and health equity sessions.
