The sounds of his grandfather's guitar under a clear sky,
the sounds of crickets at night chirping;
recalling how the dirt made circles in the air as trucks drove by while sitting on a porch,
waving to cars because no one is a stranger in New Kent county, Virginia, the legacy in this small town.
That is the foundation upon which my guest in this episode, Dr. Wilmon A. Christian, the 3rd, aka AJ, is building his legacy.
Born and raised in New Kent County, Virginia, Dr. Wilmon is he Founder and Executive Director of Resonance Organizational Consulting and Solutions, LLC. He also serves as the Director of Workplace Equity at the University of Southern California Race and Equity Center.
Our conversation touches on Dr. Wilmon's early life in the seemingly magical town of New Kent County, home of the 1st ever First Lady, Martha C. Washington.
