Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox

Donald Thompson, host of Season 1 of Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox, and CEO of The Diversity Movement, has his own podcast (the Donald Thompson Podcast) where he talks to leaders in the North Carolina business community.  Today we share a recent episode where he had the opportunity to talk to Sonya Hopson, "The Lady with The Pink Hard Hat". She's an African American woman working primarily in the construction industry, and she's overcome so many challenges - bias, mistakes, imposter syndrome, racism, and her own personal struggles - to build HIRE Strategies into one of the preeminent job recruitment firms in North Carolina.
The Donald Thompson Podcast is hosted by Walk West CEO, mentor, investor, and Diversity and Inclusion Consultant Donald Thompson.
Music for this episode provided by Jensen Reed from his song, “You Can’t Stop Me”.
