Cheryl Jackson Columbus Human Rights Commission Keynote
Lorraine Smith, Director, Columbus Human Rights Commission, Columbus, Indiana
"As our keynote speaker, Cheryl Jackson educated our audience through a mesmerizing, engaging, and thoughtful keynote that wowed our audience - she definitely educated, but she also inspired. She had a unique ability to place national civil rights issues into a local context. Most of all Cheryl’s ability to weave her personal story on the issue of race, diversity and adversity into an uplifting message of empowerment was in the way that she connected with everyone in the audience.
The Commission’s Annual Meeting is attended by almost 300 attendees, but Cheryl just has a way of making you feel as if she is speaking directly to you. The Commission has had many well-known speakers such as former U.S. Representative Lee Hamilton and CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies. In our 25 plus years of this yearly event, I would place Cheryl at the top tier of our list of keynote speakers."

Her print and television background provides credibility to speak on a wide range of topics.

Over the course of the last 20 plus years, serving as an Attorney, state Senator, and for a Fortune 100 company, I've had a chance to hear many inspiring speakers.
