This week’s guest teaches us that it is our differences that make us stronger. Meet Alphonso B. David, an accomplished and nationally recognized LGBTQ2S+ civil rights lawyer and advocate, and the president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Mr. David is the first civil rights lawyer and the first person of colour to serve as president of HRC in the organization’s nearly 40-year history. He has served at the forefront of the movement for LGBTQ2S+ equality for more than a decade and has worked at both the state and national levels. In this episode, the two discuss his approach to leadership, an approach based on spirit instead of ego, as well as the skills and tools he brings to his role as HRC's first civil rights lawyer as President. He shares his upbringing in the U.S. and Liberia and the effect it had on his view of the value of democracy and the purpose of life. Mr. David also speaks about his experience being a leader in a historically white space and how making a real change means putting ourselves in the shoes of others, while using our history to inform and learn from our current experience.
