The next wave of keynote speakers: tackling tomorrow’s challenges, today
The legacy of slavery still shapes our cities, roads, and stories today. Understanding our history will help us make sense of our world—and fight for a better one.
Curiosity isn't just a personality trait—it's a skill. When you learn how to practice it, you unlock greater problem solving, stronger teams and powerful leadership.
Slavery fueled the growth of our churches, schools, and institutions. We must face that history if we want to understand—and someday transcend—our racial divide.
Higher education could be a powerful force for equity and democracy—but it must face up to its history of racial injustice first.
The story of art has always excluded women. But we can write a new, more equitable story for the future of art, and beyond.
Making a movie is like running a business. A glimpse behind the scenes of Hollywood's biggest hits holds lessons for every leader.

THE QUOTE
“Our clients are the people who used to stay up all night talking about politics, economics, music, art, culture—the engaged and the engaging. Now they work, go to conferences, meetings, parent conferences. But they miss thinking—miss the fun of thinking—and our job is to give it back to them.”
