Welcome to the Higher Ed Breakfast Club, where today’s conversation goes deep! In this episode, our guest, Dr. Tammy Hodo, shares her journey through academia, white supremacy, and the roots of her DEI-focused company, All Things Diverse. Tammy dives into the political charge around school board takeovers, the weaponization of CRT, and how diversity efforts are often met with defensiveness instead of empathy.

Together, we tackle why diverse lived experiences and open-mindedness are so crucial in today's divided climate, with Tammy challenging us to think about what we might accomplish if we came together. And, of course, no Higher Ed Breakfast Club episode is complete without a savory exploration of breakfast favorites—from hash browns to the never-ending crunchy versus smooth peanut butter debate. Pour yourself a mimosa (or two) and dig into a rich discussion on diversity, equity, and how breakfast brings us all together.

Join us on the latest episode of the Higher Ed Breakfast Club podcast, featuring special guest Dr. Tammy Hodo! We discuss her experiences as a runner, a veteran, and a diversity advocate, have a powerful discussion on the backlash against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, especially in Florida and beyond, and discuss the ongoing struggles and systemic racism in higher education and society. We also talk breakfast including grits and how one should season them. Grab a cup of joe and get in here!
