"Be the Difference” feat. Author & Speaker Diana Patton

Diana Patton has committed her life to helping those in need, specifically young women and youth. Her unique background has helped her to assist in leading diversity efforts within two large corporations and to become the VP, General Counsel and COO of the Toledo Fair Housing Center. Diana is a speaker, an author of two books, an attorney and a social justice advocate who works hard to eliminate racism, empower women, and to promote dignity for humanity. She works with students and teachers in school districts, including her RISE program, which starts with a simple premise: In order to successfully teach students to care about themselves and for others, educators must first practice personal self-care.

In this episode, Shane talks to Diana about what inspired her to go from lawyer to what she is doing now--speaking, writing, and working for social good. She also dives into how she works with schools and the key issues students and teachers are facing today.
