My guest was Ashford Hughes, executive officer for diversity, equity and inclusion at Metro Nashville Public Schools. Before that, Hughes served as the city s chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer under former Mayor David Briley.
Hughes and I will discussed his ongoing mission of creating equity in both Metro schools and Nashville as a whole, and other topics such as voter suppression and early childhood literacy. This conversation is the first in a series dedicated to showcasing the powerful voices in our group.
Since late 2020, the Black Tennessee Voices initiative has highlighted and promoted the strong and powerful Black Voices our community has to offer.
