After spending nearly a decade working in collegiate multicultural affairs and serving as an adjunct faculty member, Jada knows what truly drives systemic change, retention, and community partnerships- and it's not mastering a perfect calendar of events. It's building relationships, historic truth-telling, and creative action. Jada has supported the implementation of the Diversity Plan, campus-wide Understanding Racism training, and leading the formation of the Black Alumni Advisory Board at Guilford College. She has also worked to cultivate resource groups with Leadership for Educational Equity while serving as a Director of Diversity Equity & Inclusion. In collaboration with national educators, Jada directs the international Youth Action Project (YAP) of the White Privilege Conference. In addition to her extensive leadership and diversity experience, Jada is a certified True Colors International and a certified Intercultural Development Inventory trainer. She also serves as a co-chair of the Other Voices Greensboro Chamber of Commerce Program and is a board member of both ArtsGreensboro and American Friends Service Committee. In her first book, Revolutionize Now: Creative Leadership & Action for Social Change, Jada supports readers to create a blueprint for self-discovery and social change.
