The Community Trailblazer
Dr. Culbreth is passionate about being a part of the change needed in society with a focus on empowering people to reach higher ground. Her projects and interests include topics that are complex in nature because she believes that not only dialogues, but initiatives, strategies, programs, etc., must be developed to address the plethora of societal ills. She focuses on colorism racism, identity, racial unity, issues affecting girls and women of color, people of color, mixed race identity, quality education (including closing the achievement gap for students of color), equality, justice for all, personal enrichment, diversity, defying stereotypes and breaking down skin color and racial barriers, and biased standards of beauty that continue to ignore the diversity of girls and women of color. Through projects and research she addresses a plethora of issues that continue to stagnate the psychological, emotional, physical and social well-being and growth of people of color. She believes that the key to change is unity and embracing all people regardless of where they come from, how they look, education, socioeconomic status, national origin, gender, race, color, sexual orientation, religion or other status. “We must realize that a “change will only come when we stand together as one” (Jackson and Richie, 1985).
