In celebration of Women’s History Month, a panel of women groundbreakers — with a broad range of experience and past service in diverse communities — met to inspire and instruct the public. American Diversity Report and G100 Women Leaders sponsored the event, and American Diversity Report’s editor-in-chief, Deborah Levine, facilitated it. Lulu Copeland, Gail Dawson, Vanessa Jackson and Teletha McJunkin spoke on the panel and shared their stories and knowledge.
