“Once you establish your values, you have to uphold them. If you don’t have integrity, you are not a leader.”

“What is my vision for myself and for my community? Do I have a clear vision of what my path to leadership is?”

Dr. Victor Littles joined our youth and staff for our online leadership seminars series. The group discussed the roles of communication and education as tools of leadership and the importance of lifelong commitment to upholding values and integrity as leaders.

Dr. Victor Littles comes from a family of performing artists and from an early age he was trained as a professional dancer as well as playing sports throughout school. He broadened his experience by living in England for a time before moving to Oakland, where he began his career in government serving as Education Advisor on Mayor Elihu Harris’ staff. He earned degrees from San Francisco State University, Holy Names University and Fielding Graduate University and currently serves as a Program Manager at Merritt College.

The Freedom Center continues to turn on a dime, increasing our online classes and sessions during the shelter-in-place order. We are bringing experts from around the world with feet-on-the-ground experience in organizing, civic engagement and public service together with our youth and staff.

This is an excellent time to study the relevance and importance of transforming ourselves to make change in the world.
