Today’s guest is: Dr. Roberta Wilburn
Dr. Roberta J. Wilburn is an award-winning diversity and inclusion expert who champions diversity,
equity, and inclusion while inviting people to enhance their intercultural skills and build
authentic relationships with people from diverse backgrounds in order to promote
cross-cultural understanding. She is an author, diversity trainer, cultural coach, and racial
justice advocate that works with people who are serious about uncovering their hidden biases and
doing the necessary work to become culturally sensitive and responsive advocates and allies. Using
her R.E.A.L. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework she teaches and encourages others how to
embrace cultural differences and foster collaborative relationships with people from diverse
backgrounds using a faith-based perspective so they can excel in a diverse and inclusive world.
As a transformational servant-leader, she has always tried to have her hands on the pulse
of local and national concerns, and it has been recognized by others locally and nationally.
In the fall of 2016, her diversity work was validated when she became the recipient of the
YWCA Women of Achievement Carl Maxey Racial and Social Justice Award and the following year, she
received the 2017 Insight Into Diversity Giving Back Award for Administrators in Higher
Education. Her research has led her to pursue and acquire two international grants spanning
Africa, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic; receive two invitations to present her research on
women of color at the Oxford Round Table in England; and write numerous publications.
