When it comes to friendship, you probably wouldn’t give Drs. Richard White and Kevin Sanders much of a chance. From totally different backgrounds and cultures—White is African-American and from inner-city Baltimore, Sanders is Caucasian and grew up in Arkansas—they didn’t seem like they would click.
And yet, their love of music, passion for helping others, interest in education and entrepreneurial spirits drew them together when they first met at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music and created an enduring bond that has lasted more than 20 years. They truly want to make a difference in the world. And that’s exactly what they have done.
White, an inspirational speaker and full professor at the University of New Mexico, and Sanders, director of the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music at the University of Memphis, have spent almost two decades in higher education working with students, teachers and entrepreneurs from all over the country. They are passionate about collaborating with organizations to develop positive change and leveraging creativity and unique skillsets to bring about cultural transformation. They specialize in program management, strategic planning, consulting, facilitation, curriculum development and capacity building. And most recently—energized by the racial and social justice movement—White and Sanders earned certificates in Diversity and Inclusion, from the Ivy League’s Cornell University.
“We’re always thinking how we can make a bigger impact and how we can help the people around us,” White says. “This is just an extension of a conversation that has been going on for over a decade.”
White and Sanders’ talks, which include interactions with their audiences, are filled with humor, wisdom and solid information on how to make the world and organizations better places to work, live and be more inclusive. They’ll inspire you to do more and show you how to think differently about our ever-changing society.
