Episode 25: Radical acceptance for radical change

Hard-working. Creative. Smart. These words and so many more describe Calvin Eaton. What’s harder to describe is his influence, insight and generosity. 

Calvin Eaton is a disabled community educator, content creator, and social entrepreneur, whose areas of expertise include antiracism, equity, justice, instructional design, and program development. In 2016 Mr. Eaton founded 540WMain, Inc a virtual non-profit organization and antiracist education brand that promotes justice for all. 

In addition to his non-profit work, Mr. Eaton serves as an adjunct faculty member at St. John Fisher College, is a frequent guest lecturer at several Rochester area universities including Nazareth College and The University of Rochester; and sits on the Disparities Solutions Advisory Council with the U.S Pain Foundation.
