Do we have a phenomenal Season 2 finale for you all, today! Our hosts of the social justice podcast Play It Forward presented by PeacePlayers are joined by an incredible trailblazer in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion field; Mr. Omar Brown is the Senior Vice President, People & Culture of the BIG10 Conference. Throughout the episode we hear about Omar’s journey from finance, to human resources and consulting, to the position that he now finds himself in with the BIG10, or as he calls it, HR+. Chinny and Emmett ask Omar the hard questions like what is the BIG10 doing to ensure there is more diversity AND inclusion in the athletic departments across the conference, and surprisingly, you’ll hear how Omar relates diversity and inclusion to Trail Mix. Omar provides some tips and tricks for getting hired, and how we all can be more intentional about our actions and words. You might be tired of hearing us say it, but grab your pencil and a piece of paper, you’ll want to take notes for this one!
