ABOUT OUR GUEST
Rashad Robinson is a social justice leader, strategist and national bestselling author. He’s taken on tech giants and the criminal justice system, politicians in Washington and corporate executives in Hollywood. He’s been on the front lines of protest and in the back rooms of negotiation. He has designed campaigns to change public policies, corporate practices, electoral outcomes, and media representations. He led Color Of Change for nearly fourteen years, transforming it from a start-up into a national force for racial justice, and also led programs at GLAAD, reshaping media representations of LGBTQ people during the fights to win marriage equality and end discrimination. From Presence to Power is a roadmap for making change, based on everything he’s achieved and learned: a practical guide for anyone who wants to understand power, gain it, and use it to win.
