Ep. 20 - Anthony Robinson

What does it mean to practice equity—not as an initiative, but as a daily leadership responsibility?

In this episode of Moving Forward: Conversations on Culture, Identity, Healing, and Hope, host Linda Anderson sits down with Anthony Robinson, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, educator, and scholar whose work lives at the intersection of leadership, systems change, and human dignity.

Anthony’s leadership journey is grounded in lived experience and a deep commitment to justice. As a DEI leader, he collaborates across organizations to support cultural proficiency and educational equity, while advancing strategic equity goals within educational systems. As an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Los Rios Community College District, he teaches English Literature through culturally responsive pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and language accessibility—centering voices that have too often been marginalized.

Throughout the conversation, Anthony invites listeners to rethink equity as a leadership practice shaped by identity, relationships, courage, and everyday decisions. Together, Linda and Anthony explore how leaders navigate resistance, sustain themselves in challenging work, and align values with action—especially in moments of discomfort.

This conversation is for educators—and for leaders across organizations, business, nonprofit, and community spaces—who are seeking to lead with integrity, humanity, and hope in complex and contested times.

This episode invites reflection for leaders across education, organizations, and communities: Where do your values show up in your decisions—and where might courage be asking more of you?
