🎙️ What You’ll Learn in This Recap
1. Dr. King’s Dream as a Leadership Compass
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech wasn’t just a civil rights call — it was a strategic vision of leadership. Learn how his call for dignity, justice, and nonviolent resilience still guides leaders today.
2. Historical Context that Shapes Leadership
We’ll connect King’s dream to the legacy of 1619, when the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia, and why that history still matters. You’ll also hear my personal connection as a descendant of Queen Nzinga of the Kongo Kingdom, whose story of courage and resilience continues to inspire.
3. Three Universal Leadership Lessons
Walk away with practical insights you can apply right now:
•Leadership is Service and Sacrifice
•Leadership requires Fighting for Dignity
•Leadership is Resilience in the Arc of Justice
4. A Call to Action for Aspiring Leaders
Whether you’re a Naval Junior Officer on the path to command or a Silicon Valley engineer preparing to lead, you’ll be challenged to:
•Serve with integrity
•Build inclusive teams
•Lead with courage and hope
•Take one concrete step this week to help bend the arc toward justice
You will leave inspired, equipped, and ready to carry King’s dream forward through your leadership.
