If you want a glimpse at the extraordinary heart, soul, and intellect of New York’s Chief Judge, watch this short video of his remarks at our recent event.
Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the newly renamed Midtown Community Justice Center and its contributions to community safety and security, Chief Judge Rowan D. Wilson delivers a candid and celebratory speech in its honor. In the spirit of the holiday season, he remembers the themes of compassion and shared humanity in films like "Miracle on 34th Street" and their likeness to the work and diverse practitioners at Midtown—calling the latter New York’s own “Miracle on 54th Street.” Their long-standing, innovative foundation of meeting individuals with resources and support rather than a sentence in court is, in short, miraculous. 30 years of justice represents more than 30 years of a court—it represents 30 years of community, 30 years of humanity, and 30 years of love… and that legacy is here to stay.

Great to be back again serving as emcee at the 17th Annual Hearts of Texas Luncheon, honoring Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Randy Bowman, Community Partners of Dallas and the Lewisville ISD. Volunteerism transforms lives! Thanks to Volunteer Now CEO, Rachel Currie Triska, for inspiring her incredible team. Americans gave 4.1 billion hours of service to humanity as volunteers last year. There's nothing more impactful than making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. As I share in my keynote address: "Live your life as a go-getter, yet, forever share your life as a go-giver."
Happy Founder's Day to all who celebrate! While I am no longer working for and with the Brothers of the Christian Schools and their partners, I am the professional I am today because of their careful guidance of my development. As an HR professional, St. John Baptist de La Salle was most certainly someone that I can look to for people management inspiration: his writings (Conduct of Schools, the Letters to the Brothers, Civility and Decorum) could be considered to be his version of employee handbooks. He spent time visiting the various schools and agencies that he sent the Brothers to, and he found himself adjudicating A LOT of employee relations issues between the Brothers. 😬 John Baptist de La Salle's engagement with the early Brothers, the families, and those who he rented space from is a good example of how nimble HR folks need to be with stakeholders. Today isn't just Founder's Day; it is also the day that Pope Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical, "Rarem Novarem," which informs our understanding of the rights of workers. At the time, it was a revolutionary document and it remains prophetic today. He said, "Hence, by degrees it has come to pass that working men have been surrendered, isolated and helpless, to the hardheartedness of employers and the greed of unchecked competition. The mischief has been increased by rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless, under a different guise, but with like injustice, still practiced by covetous and grasping men. To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself." These two contributions for me as an HR professional inform how I work with employees entrusted to my care and, how I try to interact with those I partner with.
Each year, Lasallians honor St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and patron saint of teachers, on May 15. At Christian Brothers Services we strive to continue the educational mission De La Salle set forth. While we may not have students in classrooms, our work in understanding, protecting, and guiding our members and providing plans and programs that help them complete their distinct missions, is a legitimate expression of St. De La Salle’s vision.

In my Africana Studies classes the discussion would sometimes come up about the statement, “I don’t see color.” And the issue with that statement is, if you don’t see color, you don’t see me. Visibility is important, hints the quote, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”, and the saying, “Representation matters”. Both of which speak to visibility…. His response was very spot on and well put. We can’t fix issues that are not visible, and therefore are not seen. And I state both because, though some things are visible to someone, that doesn’t mean that they’re seen by everyone. #Perspective #RepresentationMatters #DEIMatters
“I do see color because I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism” - Jerod Mayo, new head coach of the New England Patriots.
June is the month in which Tom Skinner was born 82 years ago and passed away 30 years ago. At a time of declining civility, rising racial terror, political upheaval, and threats to democracy, there is much that people of faith and diverse races today can learn from Tom Skinner’s teaching and practice of racial healing and commitment to biblical social justice.
