On this episode, we’re talking to Linda Thompson. She was selected by New Hanover County to lead its new Office of Diversity and Equity. The new department was announced in June. Thompson came from the Wilmington Police Department where she last served as Diversity and Inclusion Officer. We talk about the meaning of equity, how she feels like she was called to the job and her plan to build the department’s goals around feedback from the county’s employees and citizens.
