Minnijean Brown Trickey Reviews

Mrs. Minnijean Brown Trickey is one of the best speakers we have ever had. She evoked something in the audience that made them super engaging and even a little intense. As she shared her experience with us, many of our Black employees were able to identify and feel seen with her experience in a Black school or an all-white school and know they weren't the only ones. It was also so powerful for our non-Black employees, because there are truly many that did not know her story or could not comprehend how a people could have such hate to keep children from attending school. Her closing words I believe impacted our LNCA audience and I know that many will start taking the small steps/acts to get to the larger result. Once again from the Legrand Black Professional Network, we are so honored and grateful that Minnijean took the time to come and meet with us and share the gems that she did.
