1998 Malii Brown is “soaking up as much summer sun as possible and doing well in Chicago.” In May, she visited the LFA campus for graduation on the invitation of graduating senior Tessy Onwuka ’16. Malii notes, “It was a beautiful walk down memory lane, and I was pleased to hear Dr. Strudwick’s closing remarks about embracing diversity and practicing inclusion through action led by empathy, open-mindedness and understanding. (see page 3 for excerpts) I very much anticipate seeing this ethic applied more profoundly at the LFA that I know and hold dear. Otherwise, I’m having fun growing my business as a global and local Diversity trainer and consultant (www.EngageBetween.com), and am looking forward to travel over the coming months to lead training. So far this year, my travel schedule includes Berlin and Bonn, Germany; Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Portland and Seattle! As an independent practitioner, I cooperate with respected organizational partners of mine on larger assignments. Looking forward to (re)connecting with LFA alumni (Brown@EngageBetween.com)!”
