Imagine
|
|
Lisa Pullen Davis, PhD, MSPH
Imagine the strength that it takes
To remain composed and sit professionally in place
When you are deemed invisible, dismissed or reproved
By someone that communicates, behaves or manages like a fool
Time has shown you which path to take
Wisdom guides you when you’re about to break
Imagine how cool it could be
If you were evaluated by your work
Rather than the color that someone else sees.

"Disclosing my struggles was far from easy. Most people with a mental illness live in fear of others finding out, even though studies say that at least one in four adults has a diagnosable condition. However, a large part of my role is to create a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all, and I know that I need to share my truth to create a space where others feel they can do the same."
Stephanie Robertson,
Director of Community Engagement and Inclusion at Fuqua School of Business and OIE Diversity Leader, contributer to Inside Higher Ed.
