Director on March 9, 2020. She has more than 15 years in the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity field. Previously, she was in charge of the Diversity Awareness Partnership in St. Louis (2007), which she grew from a one person $100,000 budget to a 10 person $1 million budget organization. In addition to serving as an Executive Director, she was also an adjunct faculty for Washington University in St. Louis, lecturing about the corporate and community implications of exclusion and discrimination. Her experience working with corporate clients, schools, and the St. Louis community in the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson make her a sought-after speaker and trainer. Carroll has trained over 11,000 people throughout the United States on issues of diversity, inclusion, equity and the importance of using dialogue instead of debate as a means to understand different perspectives.
Carroll holds a Masters of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis Brown School of Social Work with an emphasis on social and economic development and an undergraduate degree in Sociology from Occidental College in Los Angeles.
Carroll is the recipient of the Bank of America’s Local Hero Award, the Brown School of Social Work’s Distinguished Alumni Award, the Missouri Lawyers Citizenship Award, and Delux Magazine’s 100 Most Important People Award.
