Dr. Ladson-Billings shaped my teaching philosophy so much I consider her a co-author.

[Britt Kotiw @BrittTalking]

Sometimes work gets stressful and overwhelming and then sometimes I get to attend a free conference one floor down from my office and listen to Gloria Ladson-Billings speak about equity and education

[Britt Kotiw @BrittTalking]

@SubriaWhitaker @leadilstu @IllinoisStateU I’m so proud 🥺

[Subria Whitaker @SubriaWhitaker]

Let’s ALL keep having the necessary dialogue and programming around race, gender, and leadership in sports— especially when it comes to athletes, the business, and their brands!

The first step to successfully addressing inequity and inequality, is eliminating ignorance. ☝🏽

[Britt Kotiw @BrittTalking]

Once you hear Subria speak on these issues you’re going to want her to come back for more. So glad ISU is making that happen and providing an audience for these important conversations.

[Subria Whitaker @SubriaWhitaker]

When @brittILSTU invited me to speak for her @leadilstu program back in November, I never could’ve imagined the outcome— or that it would turn into all that it has. 🥺

@IllinoisStateU is really starting to feel like a 2nd unofficial home for me, and I can’t wait to go back! ♥️

[Subria Whitaker @SubriaWhitaker]

So, about last week… 😳

I spoke to ~400 @ISURedbirds about branding, social media presence, and the stigma around women athletes in these very spaces.

I truly can’t thank @vISUalizeNIL enough for having me, and I hope to be able to do something like this again SOON! 🙏🏽

[Subria Whitaker @SubriaWhitaker]

I’m heading back to Illinois State this month and I can’t wait to get to it! I’m so honored to share this space with ISU athletes and have these important conversations with them. See you soon, Redbirds!

A week ago, @brittILSTU welcomed me to Illinois State University as a guest speaker for @leadilstu Leaders of Social Change Program. I even had the privilege of hosting a lunch for NPHC student leaders, leading my very FIRST workshop, and participating in a roundtable discussion.
